lpv:translated text	". I took an active role in the conciliation meetings which reached agreement on the European Union budget for 2005. That is good reason to feel proud and satisfied. Failure of the negotiations on the enlarged EU’s first budget would have been a terrible political signal to send out to Europe’s citizens. It would have been a sign of our inability to govern ourselves with 25 Member States. All Community policies will be duly funded in 2005, in accordance with the established priorities. Compared with 2004, this budget will have an increase of 6.5% and will rise above the symbolic value of 1% of GNI. The Council, Parliament and the Commission have agreed to a statement by which the level of payments will be examined in mid-2005 and, if necessary, the budget lines in question will be supplemented. Portugal’s priorities are taken into account financially in 2005. There is greater provision for regional and cohesion policy, as well as for the common agricultural policy with its pilot projects, and there are more funds for concluding agreements on fisheries. A budget is evidence of the credibility of the objectives that have been set out. It is pointless to make grand political statements without providing the funding to put such intentions into practice. The budget for 2005 is therefore a credible instrument."@en1
