lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party strongly supports the accession to the European Union of the candidate countries and the swift handling of the Accession Treaties. My group, however, is very sceptical as to whether the good levels of cooperation that have existed up till now between the Council and Parliament in budgetary policy can continue. When the Copenhagen Summit approved the Accession Treaties for the new Member States it also endorsed the necessary financial framework. There were no discussions at all with the European Parliament with regard to this financial framework, so it cannot be binding on Parliament. Parliament’s budgetary authority is defined in Article 272 of the EC Treaty. Now that the Council is to include the financial framework in the Accession Treaties, it is to become EU primary law. That would be a restriction of Parliament’s budgetary authority beyond that contained in the EC Treaty. This is a clear infringement of the EC Treaty and Parliament’s competence. In future Parliament’s competence would be determined under the EC Treaty, which would apply to the old Member States, and by the Accession Treaties, which would apply to the new Member States. The situation must be considered a mess on the part of the Council. We doubt in particular whether we can even discuss the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary policy and its review. Parliament obviously just has to exercise the competence bestowed on it by the EC Treaty fully, as the Council does not respect interinstitutional cooperation."@en1
