lpv:translated text	"Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, a process of such historical significance as enlargement can only be approached on the basis of broad consensus. I should like to emphasise that it is essential to arrive at financial consensus. In recent years, the European Union has operated by means of a multiannual agreement as expressed in the so-called financial perspective. This consensual system has resulted in two key achievements. The first is interinstitutional peace, crucial to the preparation of an annual budget. The second is multiannual financial programming, a very useful instrument for budgetary policy. The memory of the difficulties experienced in reaching agreement on the most recent financial perspective in Berlin in 1999 must still be fresh for all Members of the House. This perspective will remain in force until 2006. Members must also be aware of the major difficulties anticipated in connection with drawing up a new financial perspective valid until 2013. By that time, the House will have welcomed new honourable Members and the new Member States will be present in the Council. Consequently the nature of these two budgetary authorities will be very different. The impact of a reformed agricultural policy is one of the variables the new financial consensus will need to take into account. Others will be actual convergence in the areas classed as Objective 1 at the time, and the statistical effect will have an impact on that. Then there is the absorption capacity as far as new Member States are concerned. It will even be necessary to come to a new decision on own resources and the maximum ceiling, currently 1.24%. This will have to be ratified by the Member States. It might therefore be wise to delay negotiation of a new financial perspective until it is possible to ensure complete consensus between the parties. If the present financial framework can cope with enlargement, it should perhaps be retained until an overall assessment of the new financial situation is available."@en1
