lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this morning the European Parliament will vote on its position regarding the forthcoming Financial Perspective for 2007–2013. This will be one of the most important and significant votes in this session of Parliament. The European Parliament has basically supported the European Commission’s proposal, but has changed the structure of the Financial Perspective a little. The European Development Fund has been removed from the framework of the Financial Perspective and a reserve of 24 billion euros has been created. As a result, the amount of expenditure proposed by the European Parliament is apparently smaller – 1.07% of European Union gross national income – but, if the European Development Fund and the reserve are included, we would be close to the European Commission’s proposal. In the European Parliament’s proposal the main decrease in expenditure relates to sub-programme 1.a, ‘Competitiveness for growth and employment’, and also to administrative expenditure by the EU institutions, channelling extra resources towards the European Parliament’s traditional priorities. The European Parliament has acknowledged that the amount of expenditure allocated in the Commission’s proposal to sub-programme 1.b, ‘Cohesion for growth and employment’, is justified. The total amount of resources channelled into the EU funds is 0.41% of European Union GNI. Not only is the amount of resources channelled into the EU funds important, but also the principles for the distribution of these resources. Various important questions are dealt with in the European Parliament’s position. The first relates to the Commission’s proposal to set a ceiling of 4% of a Member State’s GNI on the amount of resources which may be received from European Union funds. The European Parliament considers that the setting of a 4% ceiling is based on the experience of the past and that a flexible approach to the setting of ceilings is now needed. It should be remembered that a set of small and economically relatively less developed states have joined the EU. Secondly, the European Parliament considers that there should be a differentiation in the level of cofinancing from EU funds, depending on a Member State’s level of economic development. This means that a higher percentage of cofinancing from EU funds could be allocated to less developed EU Member States."@en1
