lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in order to comply with Parliament’s Rules of Procedure I am required to present my explanation of vote in instalments. I shall now give the second of these. The Copenhagen Council set a limit of EUR 40.8 billion on transfers from the Union to the new members up to 2006. In 1999 the Berlin Council had allocated 43 billion for the same time period, but for six countries. It follows that the Union now has less money with which to help more countries. Try to get your minds round that one! Furthermore, this budget of EUR 40.8 billion for three years is not quite what it seems. The 10 new Member States will have to contribute to it to the tune of EUR 15 billion. Mr Kok calculated that net transfers to the new countries will be restricted to about EUR 10 billion per year. That amounts to less than 0.1% of the GDP of the Union. Such generosity is bound to encourage the new Member States to restate their case again once they have seats on the Council."@en1
