lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this first half-year has been especially full of major challenges for the future of the European Union: the reform of the Stability and Growth Pact, the relaunch of the Lisbon Agenda, the ratification of the Constitution and the financial perspectives. The Luxembourg Presidency, in its commendable effort to address them all, has confirmed its own political ability and its determined support for the Community project. It then suffered an unfortunate setback in the European Council last Thursday and Friday, which, without doubt, does not help Europe to build an effective relationship with the citizens, a relationship that is genuinely based on the element of trust. I must, however, add, Minister, that I was not so impressed with the position of the current Presidency on the resources for the cohesion policy in the next programming period. With regard to the original, very restrictive proposal, a step forward was made at the start of the summit, which I personally do not believe was satisfactory, and which, in fact, if it were translated into an agreement, would not have provided an adequate response to the demands for balanced development in the regions lagging behind. Parliament, however, had sent out a significant positive signal by approving the Böge resolution by a large majority and by reaching full agreement with the position of the European Commission. Is it possible that all of that is of no importance whatsoever? Is it possible, therefore, not to take account of the opinion of 426 – that was how many of us voted – democratically elected Members? Personally speaking, I hope – and I conclude – that after last week’s unpleasant test, a balanced agreement is reached, mindful of the prevailing positions, and that that occurs as soon as possible, without indulging in the extended time still available."@en1
