"The Commission does not wish to speak, but I believe that it is essential for Parliament, via its President, to supplement the words of the other Budgetary Authority. This Agreement fully demonstrates Parliament's role as budgetary authority and makes it clear that an agreement within the Council is not sufficient to provide the Union with a financial perspective, but that this Parliament also needs to be present. Parliament has been present following a long and difficult process, which has led to an agreement which many Members consider to be a minimal agreement, and this is reflected in the vote. This is certainly a minimal agreement, but it allows the Union to function and does not add any further problems to the ones we already have. Parliament would like to thank you, Mr Böge — you and all of your negotiating team — for the work you have done on its behalf. I would therefore like to express our thanks to Mr Lewandowski, Mr Böge, Mr Walter and Mr Mulder, but I would also like to say that, for many Members I would insist it is the maximum we could have achieved. Nevertheless, this maximum represents a minimum in terms of many of the Union's expressed ambitions. In accordance with the financial perspective, the European Union costs EUR 0.72 per day for each European. Surely that is not excessive, given what the Union achieves. Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I would like to say that Parliament takes a positive view of your initiative of talking about the Union's own resources and that, at the inter-parliamentary meeting on 8 and 9 May, all of the Parliaments of the Union took the same view. There is no question that we will not be able to negotiate the next financial perspective in the way we have negotiated this one, that the system has been stretched to its limits, and that, by then, we will have to find new methods so that we can continue to move forward. I would also like to address my thanks to Mr Lewandowski and all of the members of the Committee on Budgets and I would urge all of you to take an active part in the work of revising this perspective in 2008 and 2009."@en1
