"Mr President, what is now being negotiated about the Financial Perspective will, I think, turn out to be the most crucial litmus test in the whole of the European Union’s history. It will now become apparent whether the targets that keep on being set, and the declarations of intent, can be turned into real policies.
A litmus test makes evaluation possible. Will it really be possible to top up the funds for research support – which is what they need – and move their focus to small and medium-sized firms, and away from the funding for large companies that major lobbyists favour? Will it be possible to achieve the breakthroughs that are needed in education? Will it be possible to make real savings in administration, without more new concealed channels being found? On that will depend the amount of money that will actually be involved. I would opt for a different approach: we should start by talking about what expenditure is actually needed and then decide on the ceiling."@en1
