"Mr President, we all know that one of the clearest challenges facing the European Union at this time is the implementation of further measures to improve the operation of the European economy.
The budget and restrictions that have been proposed – by the Council in particular – are not going in that direction. This is a setback in my view. If we are to fulfil our objectives, especially at this time when we want to work as an enlarged Europe, a restrictive budget would set that objective back. I am surprised that the Council has come up with those proposals. I agree with my colleague, Mr Roszkowski, that any reduction in that order would send a signal that we are not in earnest about the goal we have set ourselves in an enlarged and cohesive Europe of solidarity.
I hope that there will be changes and amendments to those proposals. I, like other speakers, would like to see more imagination and optimism for the budgetary proposals that are being put forward."@en1
