lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I regret that this debate is taking place now while the ACP countries are still establishing their position on budgetisation. It sends the wrong signal to take the decision to budgetise without a full exchange of views with our partners, specifically because it is not clear how this partnership will be maintained once the EDF is budgetised. It is crucial that these concerns are addressed in an open constructive dialogue with our ACP partners and that all options are fully explored before reaching a decision. Mr Scarbonchi and the Commission have already mentioned the evident benefits of budgetisation for the EU. I am not quite as confident as the Commission about the gains for the ACP countries, for instance concerning the level of funding, the predictability and multiannuality of the funds. What is the future of the ACP-EU partnership under budgetisation? Several ways of ring-fencing the Development Fund in the EU budgets have been proposed. They all imply special budgetary procedures, revision of EU financial regulations and of budgetary principles. How can we ensure that the necessary modifications for the adequate protection of funds will be adopted? Why does the Commission communication make no explicit analysis of the possible impact of budgetisation on future levels of commitments or disbursements? Transfers and reallocation of resources between heading and subheading are possible under Article 274 of the EC Treaty. Will the budgetary authority protect the EDF once it is included in the budget, or will it address new emerging EU concerns, such as the new objectives stated in the recent declaration on combating terrorism? These are some of the questions I would like to have answered before I can make up my mind on this important issue. As I have said, I would like to have this debate knowing the position of the ACP countries."@en1
