lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish first of all to congratulate Terence Wynn and Elmar Brok on their initiative of tabling this motion for a resolution, which is unquestionably of the utmost importance and extremely timely. I have already expressed my agreement with this line of action in the exchange of opinions held on the matter in the Conference of Committee Presidents. I now express this agreement once again – with the particular gratitude and commitment of myself and my group – with the clear and rigorous way in which the motion tabled has addressed this matter. Indeed, we cannot easily accept the way in which the Council position clearly relegates the powers of the European Parliament to second place and clearly limits these powers, in patent breach of the Treaties and of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary matters. Nor can we remain indifferent to the fact that the principle of the equality of Member States and the rule of budgetary unity are being trampled on. Even less can we accept that sums that should not even be considered as the minimum necessary for implementing enlargement should be set as maximum allocations. I shall not dwell on this issue of the sums earmarked for enlargement, since our position on the matter is already common knowledge, but it is nevertheless worth underlining that, if anything can be emphasised with regard to the position adopted in the motion for a resolution on increasing appropriations for category III of the financial perspective, it is the terms laid down and the obvious clear-headedness of the approach to the matter. I do not think that the European Parliament can go further than it does in the motion for a resolution. This is obviously not the time to call enlargement and the timetables planned for its implementation into question. It is crucial, however, at least at this final stage of the process, to ensure a minimum of objectivity, transparency, and respect for the candidate countries and that an end is put to the tight-fisted policy of providing limited means, which has dogged the enlargement process from the very beginning. It is also crucial, in our opinion, and for this very reason, that a rigorous and firm position of the European Parliament does not collapse at the first sign of rejection or of limited agreement by the Council, which, incidentally, must fully assume its responsibilities for the potential consequences of its unacceptable attitude, which is in clear breach of norms and practices that have been agreed and signed."@en1
