"Mr President, although I congratulate Mr Böge on the work he has done, I should like to add my voice to the voices of all my fellow Members who expressed the wish for decisions on the financial perspectives to be taken now because, apart from anything else, the impression should not be given that the institutional crisis in the European Union is deepening. However, they must not, of course, be taken at the cost of the prospects of the European Union itself. The decisions need to be taken at a satisfactory level for all the Member States. In saying this, I cannot but add that I am sorry that the proposals by the Luxembourg Presidency operate, unfortunately, to a very large degree to the detriment of cohesion policies with the proposed reduction from 0.41% of Community GDP to 0.37%. In all events, I should like to say that it is important that the Presidency at least try to limit the adverse repercussions of its proposals. How? Firstly, with compensation mechanisms for the countries and regions which are disproportionately affected by the mechanism for distributing appropriations proposed by the Commission. Secondly, by reallocating the appropriations lost due to the Ν+2 rule. Similarly, I should like to say that we are, of course, opposed to the renationalisation and cofinancing of the common agricultural policy and, finally, to add, as there is talk on many sides of the savings which need to be made and of the fact that we cannot hand out additional appropriations, that the European Union budget corresponds in total to 2.5% of public spending in all the Member States. At some point, words and deeds with respect to the European Union will need to coincide."@en1
