"Mr President, I would like, at this juncture, to reiterate my request for the Member States to deal fairly with each other, for it is quite unacceptable for the Member States to be wearing two hats, as it were. They put on the first hat in Brussels. They are always saying that the European Union, the Commission, must take more vigorous action and that we should be launching new programmes for economic development and innovation, which need more money. As soon as they get home, they put on their second hat, and then the message that comes out of Europe’s capitals is, of course, that the Member States want to pay less to Brussels. The fact of the matter – and we really do not need to dwell on this point for long – is that if we want to pay less to Brussels, we will also get less in return. That being the case, I would ask everyone to deal fairly with each other, taking into account, on the one hand, the difficult situation in the Member States but ensuring, on the other, that the programmes which the European Union needs in order to stimulate economic recovery in the Member States continue to be effective."@en1
