"Mr President, tomorrow’s vote can bring to an end the first approval procedure for the annual budget, in keeping with the Treaty of Lisbon. Negotiations have obviously been difficult. Parliament has put forward extremely important political considerations, but the Council has refused to discuss them. Parliament initially presented a very strongly united front in maintaining its position. The Council was divided, but had the benefit of unanimity and blocked conciliation. We are currently in the position of agreeing on figures. The Council and Commission have accepted, through declarations, the large majority of the European Parliament’s requests. It would have been much better to have an interinstitutional agreement, which would have provided greater security for the future. Unfortunately, Parliament is no longer as united as it was at the start of the negotiations. As a result, there is a lack of funding for ITER. I believe that it is of paramount importance for us to give the Union the budget which it needs during this crisis period. We have the time we need before the future financial outlooks are approved to reach an agreement on the topics which are still unresolved. The Council needs to understand that it is not beneficial to the Union that the main European policies will be approved through codecision, while the financial resources required to implement these policies are decided on by only one of the parties involved in budgetary cooperation. Parliament must be involved at the same level in both aspects: political and financial."@en1
