"Mr President, the new financial framework will be the first following EU enlargement. It must be possible for it to be adopted by everyone, both new and old Member States. This also applies to states that are quite well off. In northern Europe, onerous special conditions apply that have not disappeared. It cannot be fair to allow permanently disadvantaged areas, for example those with cold climates and long distances, to pay, as it were, for the fact that, statistically, they appear to be rich.
There is also an expectation that certain projects not directly linked to the EU budget are to be turned into a reality. In the Baltic region, for example, there is universal support for improving water quality in the Baltic. This means, among other things, that it needs to be possible for all waste water, including that from Saint Petersburg, to be cleaned. The research priorities must support development of whole regions that have lived apart for historical reasons, such as the Baltic region and Central Europe.
Finally, I would state that there are high expectations of greater clarity in the EU’s foreign policy. We face challenges in Ukraine, Caucasus, Belarus and perhaps also Russia."@en1
