"Madam President, on behalf of the Committee on Budgets, I wish to thank the rapporteur, Mr Coelho, and the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs for having incorporated most of the Committee on Budgets’ amendments into the report. The proposal tabled by the Commission does in fact combine five existing programmes – Grotius II, Oisin II, Stop II, Hippocrates and Falcone – in one, and I think that the proposal is broadly in line with Parliament’s wish to secure more aid for projects that can give people in the European Union an EU with greater security. Internal security is of course one of the priorities also emphasised by Parliament in the guidelines for the budgetary procedure for 2003 – next year – which were of course adopted at the last sitting here in Strasbourg. Part of the thinking behind the way in which the programme has been put together is that, in future, there should be a closer link between police cooperation and judicial cooperation. For the Committee on Budgets, this is, moreover, an aim with the not insignificant effect of making for a better use of financial resources. It is gratifying that the candidate countries too are to be given the opportunity to participate in those projects that are financed under the programme, but it must be clear that, as a budgetary authority, Parliament cannot accept a situation in which the financial estimates are exceeded. The programme ought, then, to be limited to the period 2003-2006 in its initial phase, and in that way shortened by a year. That means, of course, a corresponding reduction in the framework appropriation, and the programme can subsequently be extended. Finally, I think that it is important for the budgetary authority to be listened to if it should nonetheless become necessary to increase the appropriations to the programme, for the consequence of increasing the appropriations to this programme must not be reduced appropriations to other programmes also financed under category 3 of the financial estimates."@en1
