". I have voted against the Interinstitutional Agreement. For the period between 2007 and 2013, Parliament has asked EUR 112 billion more than the Council. During Mr Blair’s debriefing in December 2005, the group chairmen of the large groups screamed blue murder, claiming that they would not under any circumstances agree to this result. Five months down the line, it is evident that pressure from the capitals, and particularly from Berlin, has worked very well: all the big promises were taken back. Parliament has contented itself with an increase of a mere EUR 4 billion. This agreement will be unable to adequately meet the major challenges that the EU is facing. Cutbacks are now being made on the second pillar of agricultural policy which is supposed to fund rural development and which puts quality, animal welfare and environmental care first. By the same token, not enough funds are being set aside for trans-European networks, programmes such as Erasmus (a mere 140 000 students will be placed from now on, compared to 170 000 in 2006) and Leonardo (36 000 placements compared to 50 000), the seventh Research and Development Policy programme, the social agenda, the structural funds, Life+ and Natura, cultural activities, external policy and our dealings with our neighbours. The people have their expectations of Europe, and it is extremely regrettable that we will be unable to meet them."@en1
