lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, and I would have said Madam President of the Council, but I do not see her among us. It is true that the Chamber is pretty thin, but unfortunately the debate on the budget lasted longer than planned and we – I and the speakers who follow me – will not have the opportunity to raise the matter with the Presidency. I, in my turn, would like to congratulate the rapporteurs, the chairman of the Committee on Budgets, the Council and the Presidency on the work that has been accomplished, and the conclusion of this agreement which will allow us to vote for the budget for the year 2001. But I endorse all the comments made, especially by Mr Colom i Naval, on this extremely delicate issue of the financial perspectives. An agreement has just been concluded in Nice to make enlargement possible. Now, the previous enlargements gave rise to major financial allocations. The Member States were not afraid of public opinion at home then and the enlargement to Spain and Portugal was accompanied by a major mobilisation of resources. When I see that our budget is down by comparison with the year 2000, both in real terms and in terms of percent of GNP, and that we are so very far adrift from the objectives set in Edinburgh, I recognise that as the real problem. Refusing to harness ourselves to them means undermining the credibility of the construction and enlargement of the Union."@en1
