"Mr President, the Interinstitutional Agreement contains a proposal to review the financial framework in 2008/2009. This is a step in the right direction, but only if the European Parliament is involved in this task, and under the best possible conditions. A further issue is that the future financial framework must be established for a five-year period. Each successive Parliament and each Commission must have the right to vote on the financial priorities of their term. It is particularly important to us, or in other words Parliament, because it is Parliament’s Members who, on behalf of the citizens of the European Union, make financial decisions and are later held to account for them. It is, therefore, a positive sign that the European Constitution wants to change that. In Article 402 it proposes that the multiannual financial framework should be established for a period of – and I quote – ‘at least five years’. To conclude, I would like to say that we all want a financial system which will be fair to both the old and the new members of the European Union. We want a system that will be transparent and that will give the EU an opportunity to fulfil its aims by using its own resources rather than by using the financial contributions of the Member States. Finally, I would like to say that those who do not like this budget should consider the following well-known saying: ‘If you do not get what you like, you have to like what you get.’"@en1
