"Mr President, I agree with the initial analysis made by the President of the Commission, Mr Prodi, when he referred to the fact that recent years have been marked by a impressive collection of dogmas that have been destroyed, of impossibilities that have become a constant reality and of constant realities, such as the Berlin Wall, that have fallen like the Cedars of Lebanon, as recounted in the classics. In my view, that is the context surrounding this Commission communication, in which the next financial perspective must address the new circumstances. This Commission communication will have to be supplemented by the own-initiative report to be prepared by Parliament’s Committee on Budgets and adapt to the new circumstances of enlargement; the European elections will produce a new Parliament and there will be a new Commission. In any event, we must welcome the Commission’s work and the new budget headings: sustainable development, putting the people at the heart of our project and boosting a more visible and effective foreign policy of the European Union. I would also like to highlight very clearly the alternative put to us by President Prodi of choosing between two models of Europe. He told us that between the tangible Europe, the definite Europe, and the Europe of the net balance and net beneficiary, he chose a model compatible with the former, which is a higher model, a model of the Europe of values, the Europe of peace, of understanding, of harmony and of solidarity. This solidarity must go hand in hand with the Lisbon spirit and strategy. Therefore, Mr President, I welcome the strategic choice made by the Commission today to present a communication that is not based on a model of a selfish Europe but on a model that has been capable of making the figures work for the ideals."@en1
