". Thank you, Madam President. Flexibility has been an important subject for the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, but so has new own resources. We can see from the paper that came from the presidency yesterday, which serves as an illustration, that there are great problems with own resources. It is not a transparent system, and it is not a fair system. It should be changed, and it has also not been planned very well. However, I fear that the Cypriot Presidency is placing a great deal of emphasis on net contributions. This is the way of thinking that we must move away from. The expenditure that we put into the EU budget must reflect genuine needs and sensible policies that we implement at European level, not what the Member States should get back. To a certain extent, this is what will decide it, and so we will readily save on common expenditure on research so that we do not ultimately have to touch expenditure on agriculture and that lovely money that easily comes back to the national coffers of the finance ministries. It must not be like this. The report by Mr Böge and Mr Kalfin contains six points concerning new own resources. What we propose is a procedure so that we can achieve a better system, and I would like to propose that the Council read these six points and take note of them."@en1
