lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, representative of the Council, rapporteurs, each budgetary year the European Parliament gains budgetary importance. We do not gain this importance out of nowhere, but from the Treaties, although sometimes the Council finds it hard to admit it. Last year, with the Bourlanges report, the flexibility instrument was mobilised for the first time, and an institutional declaration was also obtained recognising the possible financial insufficiency of category 4. This year, the Haug report has taken advantage of this institutional declaration last year to discuss the need to revise the financial perspective. It has been demonstrated that it was not the right time for a revision, that there was enough margin to fulfil the commitments to the Balkans and to the MEDA programme without altering the forecasts of Berlin 1999, and it has been shown that the compulsion to have a revision is only in the intentions of those who voted against Agenda 2000 in its day. However, the European Parliament cannot carry on forever reducing its external commitments. This year the flexibility instrument has been used again, but we should not continue down this road. We do not want there to be a proposal for revision for next year in the Colom Resolution, because we want to wait for the World Bank evaluation, but we share his criticism that this method of resolving the financial insufficiency in category 4 distorts the multiannual nature of the major external objectives of the Union and the very definition of the financial perspective. This time, more than ever, the secret of success will be in correctly implementing the budget."@en1
