lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, it is equally frustrating each time EU budget issues are debated. Demands for increased appropriations for new areas of expenditure are put forward without the basic problems being dealt with. Allow me to remind you of three such problems. Firstly, almost half of EU expenditure goes on an agricultural policy that all sensible people without vested interests in the issue have to regard as completely unreasonable. Secondly, almost another third goes on regional aid to rich countries. There is no way in which we can agree to increasing the Member States’ contributions to the EU as long as most of the money that is now paid in is used in this directly damaging way. Thirdly, the problems are not analysed in a sensible, sociological way. The basic attitude here is to throw money at problems. Often, however – and perhaps more often than not – it is systems of rules that determine how the economy operates, not money from the state. We must allow the countries themselves to decide on these issues. That is what democracy is about."@en1
