lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Wathelet, Mr Barroso, I should like to thank the European Commission and the Belgian Presidency for their open, cooperative and indeed European approach. In this time of crisis, let us not forget to preserve the future. Last year, the virtue contest between governments was about who could spend the most. Everyone was opening the throttle. This year it is the opposite. Everyone is now hitting the brakes, Fine. Parliament accepts the figure imposed on the Council by the most thrifty or miserly Member State, but on condition that we agree on protecting the future. The Union no longer has the necessary resources to finance its budget. Instead of being the primary instrument of solidarity between Europeans, the Community budget has become the battleground for contradictory national interests. The Treaty of Lisbon has been in force for one year now. It confers on the Union long-awaited new powers. Yet no additional resource could be allocated to the 2010 budget, and the same goes for 2011. The same is also true for the Europe 2020 action programme. At a time when all Member States are committed to policies aimed at massively reducing public expenditure, they have a huge interest in identifying and tapping into potential savings that could be made by pooling some expenses, either between several States or between all 27 Member States. Europe, the European vision and European benchmarking can help us spend less. For that reason, the European Parliament is proposing an agreement between our three institutions on a method to work together on all these proposals for the future. On a personal level, may I add that we will save time by involving national parliaments, as they are sovereign in terms of taxation and budgetary matters."@en1
