lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I believe that, in fact, Parliament’s Rules of Procedure establish that, following the rapporteurs of the committee responsible for the main report, it is normally the draftsmen of the opinions of the relevant committees who take the floor. Having said that, Mr President, I would like to thank you for your courtesy and congratulate the general rapporteur for the budget, Mr Garriga Polledo, on the excellent work he has done and also on the way he has handled the negotiations with the Council and the Commission. With regard to heading 4, we have faced the problems that traditionally arise in that chapter, this year with the EUR 200 million for Iraq, as the President-in-Office of the Council has pointed out. We have been able to find a satisfactory solution, but in any event, we believe that the solution proposed by the Commission would have been better because that would have saved us cuts in heading 4 in the sum of EUR 15 million. I believe that Mr Böge’s comments are absolutely right, that is to say, we cannot take on new commitments every year at the expense of the European Union’s traditional external action priorities. We must rationalise the use of the flexibility instrument, which is governed by certain rules which must be respected for the sake of the credibility of our European Union project; in terms of the review of the coming financial perspectives, surely we will be able to reach an agreement on the solution to this issue. Mr President, I would also like to thank the draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Development, Mr Wijkman, for his excellent cooperation and his willingness at all times to find solutions which are compatible with the priorities of his committee and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. I would like to take this opportunity to wish the Commissioner luck in her duties and ask her to facilitate our work by not taking on commitments which have no budgetary support, because I believe that, by taking that approach, we will be able to cooperate more effectively in relation to the objective that inspires us all."@en1
