lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, the European Budget stands at EUR 105 billion, which is less than the EUR 117 billion of Spain’s, less than half Germany’s, and one-twentieth of the USA’s. How, then, are you going to manage after Turkey’s accession, and what are you going to do about funding for the countries of the East? There are two solutions available to you: the first is to dismantle the CAP after 2013 in order to recover the best part of 44% of agricultural funds, a development that has been in the pipeline ever since the CAP was refashioned. The second, given that it is inevitable that the budget will double, is to create a European tax to fund it. It will be the European Constitution that will make these two solutions possible. With codecision, we will be able to calmly do away with the CAP, and, in due course, with our small farmers. In any case, simple majority means we could end up with a European budget of double the size and the imposition of a European business tax, or even a European income tax. As I expect to have to pay it, I would like to savour these last moments of not being pestered by the taxman."@en1
