lpv:translated text	"The enlargement of the EU in the direction of Eastern and Central Europe brings the European Union’s financial requirements to the fore. The EU is not at present entitled to raise taxes itself, nor should it be entitled to do so in the future either. The Haug report does not involve our automatically introducing taxation by the EU, but it opens the way for a debate on the subject. Enlargement ought to be financed mainly by means of reduced costs. This would involve better prioritising and concentrating on the major and crucial questions. The enlargement of the EU is one such priority. As long as almost half the EU’s budget goes on subsidising agriculture and as long as five sixths of it, including the structural funds, goes on subsidies of one kind or another, there can be no doubt that changes still need to be made."@en1
