lpv:translated text	"Given the late hour at which we are discussing this, you might think that our own budget does not tolerate daylight. Madam President, the Treaty of Lisbon obviously gives us more obligations, more powers and more work, but does that also mean that we need more staff across the board for committees, groups and individual members? I have my doubts. I think that, if we want to be more politic and efficient in the way we work, we can best do that within the confines of the current budget. Finally, Madam President, there seem to be a number of steps that we need to take. We are not just talking about a one-off increase this year, because it appears that we will increase the budget next year as well, and my group is not in favour of that. If we now agree to an increase because of the Treaty of Lisbon, then this is the only occasion on which we can use that argument. As far as we are concerned, this has to be a one-off increase, not a further one next year and another one the year after. All that would achieve is to mean we would need more buildings."@en1
