lpv:translated text	". Whilst I am delighted at the political unification of Europe decided on in principle in Copenhagen, I regret the fact that this is to be undertaken with excessively limited financial resources. The European Council has not even exhausted the envelope set in Berlin for the period 2003-2006. At the time, this was supposed to fund the accession of six new States. With less money, we are now supposed to cater for ten new members. Of the less than EUR 41 billion earmarked over three years, almost EUR 14 billion actually come from contributions from the new States themselves, which reduces the ‘joint’ effort of the 15 to some EUR 27 billion over three years, in other words, an annual transfer of less than 0.1 % of current Community GDP to the acceding countries. This is shamefully little, given the structural problems of almost all these countries. Under the Marshall plan, for five years after World War II, the USA transferred 1% of its GDP at the time to Europe. The FRG has for more than ten years transferred between three and four per cent of its GDP to the new ‘Länder’, totalling some EUR 75 billion per year. Since commitment appropriations are not the same as payments, it is to be feared that some of the earmarked funds will not reach the countries for which they are intended. As the Court of Auditors has just observed, of the EUR 520 million earmarked in 2001 under the Sapard programme, only EUR one million has actually reached the candidate countries."@en1
