"Mr President, spectrum auctions are pushing up profits in Member States in a manner never before seen. At the same time the reconstruction of Kosovo, after the illegal war there, is being financed at the expense of other countries receiving aid, in a way that is improper and dishonest. Our group supports the former position expressed by Parliament, according to which the Council must agree to amend the financial perspectives, particularly with regard to Category 4. Waging wars and rebuilding countries must not be allowed to happen at the expense of former preferences in the budget.
We also support the committee’s position according to which expenditure set aside for a common foreign and security policy is operational expenditure, which must remain the budgetary responsibility of the Commission. That will clarify the context in which discharge is granted. Furthermore, the granting of discharge must also concern a common foreign and security policy. However, we will not support the Council and Commission line wherein the main political focus will not shift at all towards the prevention of unemployment."@en1
