Madam President, the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy has examined the financial framework 2004-2006 for accession negotiations proposed by the Commission and considers that, generally speaking, the Commission proposal is a balanced and realistic proposal. The needs of the candidate countries have been taken into account, especially as their take-up capacity will be limited during the first years following accession. Similarly, no call is being made on the present Member States to increase their contributions. Certain Member States maintain that this proposal is overly generous in the initial stages of negotiation and have countered by proposing that the amounts for which provision was made in Berlin for 2002 should be used for 2004.
This criticism is unfounded because, first, a more restrictive proposal would be rejected outright by the candidate countries. The danger here is that negotiations will be derailed and we shall fail to find any common ground by the end of the year. Secondly, it is estimated that the take-up capacity of the new Member States will be such in 2004 that we shall be able to give them far more resources than those for which provision was made in Berlin for 2002.
The present negotiations on enlargement should not be confused with other negotiations or endeavours to amend Union policies."@en1
