"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Parliament’s estimates for 2003 should be viewed as a success, thanks to the rapporteur, Mr Stenmarck, who has focused on a series of fundamental issues on which it is good for Parliament to give its opinion. One of these is enlargement and the other, assistance to Members. It is clear that in the enlargement process we will have to seek a balance between the political timetable and efficiency, without which there will be a surge in administrative costs and expenditure on buildings, an issue of great interest to Members and Parliament as a whole, because the public image of this Parliament very often suffers if too much money is spent on buildings. This is the essence of the amendment tabled by our group: to seek improved information on the part of the services corresponding to this Parliament to discover the true need for these buildings. On the other hand, assistance to Members also requires a balance between professional requirements and the immediacy of Members activities, which are very specific and which require punctual and immediate assistance. Parliament now has more political responsibilities, new competencies and a whole set of technical requirements that need to be fulfilled, yet there have been no improvements to the administrative element of our assistance. For this reason we need to follow the recommendations of the ROME-PE study. We believe that the rapporteur has covered this very well in his report, and for this reason, apart from further negotiations with the Bureau, the rapporteur’s opinion should prevail in this report."@en1
