lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I congratulate the rapporteur on her report. I also congratulate her on her efforts to reach a consensus, which is a very difficult job. There is an irrefutable fact in her report: category 4, which was approved in Berlin, may become insufficient if we continue to add the funding of new commitments. On the other hand, the implementation figures for programmes outside the European Union are very poor and in some cases this is the fault of third countries and in others, the majority of cases, it is the fault of the Commission. What is clear is that the budgetary implementations do not match the effort made in recent years to introduce these programmes into the budget. Furthermore, we have the problem of the European Councils. Every six months we have new commitments to finance because the Council has identified new priorities without consulting Parliament. Over time, all of this is resulting in a postponement of the decision on the non-obligatory expenses incurred by the Council, and this decision and postponement were not provided for in the Interinstitutional Agreement. To sum up, I would like to say that Terence Wynn’s position seems to me to be very coherent. This is logical, since he is also chairman of the Committee on Budgets. I believe that – as he says – we must enter into trialogue with very open minds. It is clear that nobody is managing to give a reliable estimate of what is needed in Kosovo. It is also true that if we have to cut the external programmes, we must do so according to a principle of linearity and if it is not done in that way, somebody somewhere is assuming a very great responsibility. Ladies and gentlemen, the Interinstitutional Agreement is something this House must maintain. If anybody is going to be irresponsible, let it not be us."@en1
