lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to congratulate the Presidents of Parliament, the Commission and the Council on achieving an MFF deal, but especially can I thank the Irish Presidency, the Taoiseach and Ministers Creighton and Gilmore. This MFF deal represents a major success of a highly effective Presidency. Taoiseach, you and your team earned our thanks and respect for handling a very tough negotiation, and for delivering a successful outcome on time. That was not easy. It was a thoroughly good job done. This deal is a sensible pragmatic agreement. It reflects the efforts to contain and control costs of government within the Member States. The key now is implementation. There are two points which I would like to make, and the first is on flexibility. Flexibility is important. It is going to help us manage the budget, and it will enable us to address changing priorities. However, I want to stress firstly that it is no substitute for discipline, and secondly that it underlines the need to shorten the budgetary period – a five-year budget for a five-year parliament. Moreover, I remain concerned that not enough has been done to address the ongoing budget deficit, which will leave us with our ongoing RALS problems. Finally, I congratulate you, Taoiseach, on your determination to address funding for youth unemployment and SMEs. Frankly, this catastrophe should have been addressed long ago. You have demonstrated the will to provide the funds. We now have to demonstrate the capacity to absorb the funds and to deliver benefit to the European citizens."@en1
