"Mr President, a word on this communication from the Commission. I regret the fact that, particularly in the area of expenditure, we have been rather timid in this communication. You know that the Committee on Budgets asks that we do not just undertake a budget review, but rather a proper mid-term review, not for the fun of it, but simply to analyse the structure of budgetary spending and to draw conclusions on certain aspects of that spending.
You know, as I do, that it is necessary to refocus on certain aspects of spending in the area of cohesion policy, to focus on large industrial projects such as ITER or others relating to Galileo, and also to protect resources earmarked for agricultural policy.
On the other hand, I found the Commission interesting and a little more daring in the area of revenue. Indeed, I think we cannot talk about the EU budget today without opening the debate both on own resources and communitisation, or without mentioning certain areas of expenditure. I believe this is an absolutely essential and fundamental subject for the future of the European Union. I therefore hope that together we can find ways to fund our priorities better – be they youth, education, or any of the other priorities I have just mentioned – because together, we need to identify those areas of high value-added spending, so as to avoid repeating what is unfortunately happening right now with the External Action Service."@en1
