"Madam President, the conditions of my intervention in this plenary session are illustrative of the budgetary problem. I have just hurried from a meeting which, according to the Treaty, does not exist. I am participating, on behalf of Parliament, in the tripartite dialogue on the budget to set the budgetary guidelines. This is precisely the point we have raised on behalf of the Committee on Budgets. It is the adaptation of the Treaty, Article 272 in particular, to the real situation. We have spent twelve years practising with a timetable set by the interinstitutional agreements. We have renewed them three times, and we believe that the time has come to include the fundamental principles in the Treaty so that we will not find ourselves in legally dubious situations, such as the case of the meeting which I have just mentioned. Specifically, we must simplify the procedure in order to prevent the blocking of the budgetary procedure. When there are 25 members, the current procedure will not work. We should simplify it while respecting the existing balances of power.
Lastly, Madam President, we also believe that Parliament, as an institution embodying democratic legitimacy, must fully participate in the decisions on own resources."@en1
