lpv:translated text	"Madam President, overall, we in the Committee on Culture and Education are happy with the implementation of the budget for 2010, which is also apparent from the opinion that the committee adopted earlier this year. Our satisfaction is expressed in paragraphs 1 to 4 of our opinion, the details of which I will not go into here. However, there is one area with which we, as a committee, or as Parliament, cannot be satisfied. This is explained in paragraph 5 and, to put it briefly, concerns a very promising pan-European TV network, to which the Commission chose to put a stop at the last minute. This was done without the consent of Parliament and the Council, and the reason given for doing so was the fact that we are living in times of austerity. Therefore, it is obviously a little surprising to find that, instead of saving the money, the Commission is choosing to spend it on the TV channel Euronews and a host of public relations activities within the Commission. This is clearly not something that we, as Parliament, can be happy about, and therefore the Committee on Culture and Education, along with the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, has chosen to withhold the funds for the Commission’s budget until it commits to re-establishing the network concerned. Until this happens, as budget rapporteur for the Committee on Culture and Education, I cannot recommend the release of these funds that we are talking about, and I would ask the Committee on Budgetary Control to look into the matter so that we can get this important initiative re-established."@en1
