lpv:translated text	"We believe that the EU budget must be given sufficient resources to be able to finance the commitments that have been decided upon. At the same time, we would like to emphasise that the EU ought, as far as possible, to have an attitude of restraint and provide these resources by means of redistribution within the existing EU budget. We would prefer to see the agricultural budget reduced in favour of the priorities of research and development and the conversion to green energy, etc. set in the Europe 2020 strategy. Therefore, we also do not believe that the 2013 budget level for agriculture should be retained, but would welcome the distribution of agricultural aid evenly between the Member States. We also believe that it is very important to improve the efficiency of the EU’s administrative expenditure, and one way of doing this is to increase the transparency of the process for distributing and using this expenditure. We do not believe that the own resources ceiling should be revised as it should be possible to finance EU policy within the current income ceiling. We also see a need for a review of the EU’s own resources system. The current system is very complicated and lacks transparency. The rebates have not made the system any fairer, but instead have given rise to a number of new exemptions and corrections. However, a change in this system does not give the EU a direct right of taxation, as the Treaty does not provide for any such competence for the Union. Any change to the own resources system also requires all Member States to give their approval in order for it to enter into force."@en1
