lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in every democracy in the world, the budget, be it annual or multiannual, is the most global and most significant political exercise and reflects a vision or a project. Allow me to say a few words about the Council proposal. It is very much reduced; it is certainly better than the British proposal, but in relation to the Commission proposal, it is lower in all cases, even though – as we heard – the European budget only represents 2 % of the Member States’ spending. Is proposing that they give even less really going to take the strain off the national budgets? By giving less, will the national budgets really be better off? Of course not! It is far from being the case, and will be even less so when we make progress on own resources. In this case, the Council will have to explain to the European citizens what projects can be supported when we have to make cuts across the board. It will have to explain that the Europe 2020 strategy is perhaps only window dressing, that research and innovation are a luxury, that economic regeneration in our regions will have to cope with fewer resources for cohesion. Good luck explaining all of that! Good luck, too, explaining to the Europeans who still believe in the European project that that is how we are going to finance solidarity with the East, which we must do. Good luck explaining how we are going to finance solidarity with southern Europe, which we must do. Good luck to the net contributors as well! Do you think that the northern countries will behave better because of this reduction? Of course they will not. They all have an interest in seeing an improvement in the economies of their neighbouring countries. Indeed, it seems that British employers and European employers realised this at the eleventh hour. You can ask a great deal of Parliament and we have done a huge amount of work in the Committee on Budget to really try to get a good, solid proposal. We want to be flexible, to revisit certain things, but you cannot ask us to go below the Commission’s proposal. Parliament will say no to that. I think that the Council also has to be aware of the fact that, although there will be 27 of them at the discussions and they have to reach an agreement, there is a 28 partner here, which is not prepared to accept a proposal that is lower than the Commission proposal."@en1
