"Question No 1 by Bart Staes (): The Court of Auditors’ annual report on the 2000 financial year revealed that more than EUR 11 billion in European budget appropriations had remained unspent. Commissioner Schreyer confirmed at a recent meeting of the Committee on Budgetary Control of the European Parliament that the budget surplus for 2001 was approximately EUR 10 billion. Under the existing financial rules, these unspent funds are returned to the Member States. Yet the European Union is in need of large sums of money, inter alia to help cope with the impact of enlargement. The Council and Parliament together comprise the budgetary authority. What view does the Council take of the idea of amending the financial rules so that in future unspent funds would no longer be returned to the Member States but be paid into a fund which could be used to finance measures, for example, connected with enlargement or to fight poverty?"@en1
