"Mr President, Mr Wynn asked me three questions, which I briefly answered. Firstly, he asked what I meant in my speech today when I referred to the category 4 financial framework. My almost exact words were that it was the opinion of the Council that the financial framework for category 4 should not be amended permanently at the moment. I was obviously speaking about the budget for 2000, in which the Council’s proposal for compromise involves the use of the flexibility instrument with regard to category 4. In the future, obviously, the Council will investigate all the proposals the Commission will make. Mr Wynn’s second question concerned the two billion cut in compulsory and non-compulsory expenditure. The basic principle here is that the rules of the Council lay down that the President-in-Office represents the position of the Council and that, as the person to hold that position, I am therefore presenting the position of the Council and replying on its behalf. Thirdly, the document based on the compromise has now been sent to Parliament’s Secretariat."@en1
