"Mr President, I join in your celebratory mood. It is the first time that you lead in Czech and I, for the first time in this House, can speak in Hungarian, my mother tongue. It was not easy to create the opportunity for this but it is also not easy to create the harmony between the requirements and the possibilities in the budget. I see that this harmony can be better realised in the budget previously submitted by the Commission than in the one submitted to us by the Council. It is particularly important in two areas that Parliament should accept the opinion of the European Commission. One is the issue of the agricultural support where, according to Council, next year’s available sums would be decreased by EUR 1 billion. This reduction also applies to sums they committed themselves to previously. The other problem has already been mentioned by several speakers: it is the issue of the EUR 3 billion reduction in the annual payment of the structural funds in 2005. The initial proposal of the European Commission was well-founded. It took into consideration the framework of the previous financial plan and also the fact that the absorption capacity of the Member States is continuously growing. It is therefore justified that Parliament should stand by the Commission’s proposal the Council. We should, however, make our repayments from the EUR 3 billion in such a way that each Member State receives a share of the surplus. It is reasonable that the new Member States should not receive empty words only from solidarity, nor be restricted in their movement to the narrow confines of the Copenhagen framework. This proposal is based on the same principles upon which this House based last year’s 12% payment increase for the year 2004 for the ten new Member States. Let us show solidarity with those Member States who have a harder task of joining up than others."@en1
