lpv:translated text	"Mr President, allow me to begin by thanking Mr Costa Neves for his very good work on next year’s budget. It is with satisfaction that I at least observe that, for the first time in quite a few years, there has been no serious talk about revising the budget ceiling. That is, for me, the sign of a rapporteur who, in a real sense, chooses to respect and apply the budget as a and not as a . That is something I think bodes well for forthcoming negotiations. In spite of this, there is nonetheless good cause for warning against an unduly expansive budget, especially when it comes to categories 3 and 4. The limited margin in both these categories is cause for concern, especially when, in the wake of the terrorist attacks on 11 September, we see an approaching need for measures of humanitarian aid for Afghanistan, as well as a need for measures in the area of justice and home affairs. The European Union is already expensive for taxpayers. I believe it to be obvious that we must ensure that it does not become still more expensive. I see it as self-evident that, at this stage, Parliament should create room for negotiation in relation to the Council. There is, however, reason for calling for a general tightening-up, on the parts of both the Council and Parliament, before the second reading so that, from a purely budgetary point of view, they are able to handle the situation that has arisen in the wake of the terrorist attacks in the United States. Finally, just a few brief words about Mrs Buitenweg’s report. The rapporteur has made progress in the preparatory work before enlargement in 2004. That is good, and there is cause to thank her for this. I must however note that a very great deal remains to be done in order to prepare and adapt the administration before an enlargement that will soon be only two years ahead of us."@en1
