lpv:spoken text	". – Mr President, I again would like to congratulate the rapporteur, the Commission and even, to some extent, the Council for the work they have done this year. This has been a budget procedure which has so far run with remarkable smoothness. We recognise the pressures on the budget – whether it is the Balkans, Palestine, enlargement, Afghanistan or the demand for action in new fields of activity. Balancing these pressures has been quite a performance, particularly on behalf of the Commission, and for that we say thank you. In those sectors that are the concern of the Environment Committee I particularly welcome the establishment of frameworks and long-term funding regimes which have certainly stabilised our work in the area of consumers. I welcome the developing framework in the area of health where it is certainly going to encourage the development of steady progress in that field. It is equally important to say that those kind of stable funding regimes assist our work enormously. I am pleased that they have been, in the most part, respected. I also welcome the decision that was going to be taken, but has not, not to withdraw money from the Life Programme for the environmental projects that are so important. We can only develop our work in guaranteeing the future rights of the consumer, the health of the public and the safe, clean environment if we put our money where our mouth is and spend the cash that is needed."@en1
