Parliament’s negotiating position on the financial perspective 2007-2013, as expressed in its resolution of 8 June 2005, enhanced the financial perspective with quantitative, structural and qualitative elements that were considered ‘non-negotiable points’. These were elements that Parliament claimed it was 'determined to defend', saying it was 'ready to start constructive negotiations with the Council’, in the Resolution of 18 January 2006, which rejected the agreement of the December 2005 European Council.
That was worthwhile.
Although I acknowledge that the final outcome of the negotiations, especially regarding the quantitative elements, fell short of the position adopted in June, this has, broadly speaking, been a success. Given the urgent need to obtain an agreement, ‘this was the only possible compromise’. In the negotiations, Parliament secured an increase for itself of EUR 4 billion of the total amount earmarked for priority policies, which goes directly to programmes, in accordance with the approach it put forward. Most of the qualitative elements were reflected in the new interinstitutional agreement. Of these I should like to highlight Parliament’s participation on an equal footing in the 2009 review, because this will enable it to find solutions to existing deficits and to improve the forthcoming financial perspective, thus helping us to meet the objective of the abovementioned negotiating position, which remains in place.
I therefore voted in favour of this report."@en1
