"Mr President, the multiannual framework focuses on about 1% of EU GDI, but the Commission puts some funds, like the European Globalisation Fund, outside the budget. This is wrong, as you have always claimed, with regard to the European Development Fund being outside the EU budget. Now the Commission is doing the same thing again. The overall budget should be pinned down at 1% of EU GDI. That is fair, reasonable and realistic. Concerning the revenue side of the budget, Mr Lewandowski, we have a non-starter unfortunately: the introduction of increased European taxation simply will not fly. I know the countries that will be against it. Unfortunately, Mr Verhofstadt is now conspicuously absent, and so are the British Liberals and the German Liberals. They are all in the governments that are against this. And they are still in the governments, Mr Schulz. Mr Verhofstadt, although he ran away and is now absent, talked about democratic rights originating from taxation. Well Belgium has the highest taxation level in the European Union and I do not have the impression that citizens in Belgium feel democratically empowered by this. On the contrary, they vote against it. Mr Lewandowski, you have to do your homework again. Mr Barroso, I would thank you for listening this time."@en1
