"The next item is the debate on the 2011 budget []. I would like to begin our discussion. Mr Barroso, Mr Wathelet, Mr Chastel, during the conciliation meetings, the European Parliament and the Council did not manage to reach agreement on the 2011 budget. We regret this. Agreement could have been reached. The European Parliament is aware of the need to make savings. We were prepared to agree to limiting the growth of payment appropriations in the 2011 budget to 2.91% compared to 2010. In return, we wanted to establish a method of bringing the Treaty of Lisbon into force, and specifically we wanted to establish which procedures should be followed in further budget negotiations. This is important, because the Treaty of Lisbon is in force. We did not want to go beyond the treaty in any way. We know that the majority of Member States wanted this agreement. Now we have to decide as quickly as possible how to solve the problem that we have no budget. This is the responsibility of all three European institutions. We have said that a fast track is possible for Parliament, but only if our expectations concerning procedures for the next budget negotiations are guaranteed. In the last few days, we have witnessed considerable progress in terms of talks with the Council. I am sure that an agreement is within reach. The European Parliament is ready to do a very great deal in order to reach this agreement as quickly as possible. We ended the negotiations on 15 November shortly before midnight with the expectation from Parliament that we want to find good solutions to two fundamental matters: flexibility mechanisms, in order to ensure financing of policies resulting from the Treaty of Lisbon, and also solutions related to the participation of Parliament in the process of negotiating successive multiannual financial frameworks. We also have such expectations regarding the proposals related to own resources for the European Union. We think the European Commission could adopt a decisive role in this matter. I am certain that thanks to a mutual readiness to talk, we will reach agreement. I would like to emphasise once again that I think the role of the European Commission is crucial. Therefore, it is with interest that we await Mr Barroso’s speech, in which he will present both the proposed new budget, which is to be put to the vote on 1 December, and a response to Parliament’s main expectations. Of course, what is to be said by the Presidency – by Mr Wathelet – will also be of particular importance to us, as will what Mr Chastel has to say, too."@en1
