"We take note of your comments, which will of course be incorporated into the text being put to the vote.
Please allow me to make a few brief comments on the importance of this Parliament’s vote on this resolution. We are all aware that over the coming days the European institutions have the serious responsibility to reach an agreement on the Union's priorities for the coming years and to provide the financial resources necessary for them.
Parliament has established its position, which we have just voted for by a large majority. During our debate yesterday, President Barroso told us that, despite certain differences, he is comfortable with Parliament's proposal, because what we have just voted for and what the Commission is proposing are not so different.
I believe that the Member States must do whatever they can to reach an agreement on 16 and 17 June, and I believe that we can trust in the efforts being made by the Luxembourg Presidency.
Minister Schmit has taken the view that Parliament's approach is realistic and consistent. I believe that we are in a position to call upon the Council also to demonstrate realism, ambition and consistency so that the European Union can continue to operate.
Finally, everybody should be aware that if there were no financial perspectives, the Union would operate on the basis of the annual budgetary procedure laid down in Article 272 of the current Treaty, which provides Parliament with very significant room for manoeuvre. Parliament would use it, but since that would lead to conflicts we do not want to see between the two arms of the budgetary authority, we would once again urge the Council to reach an agreement Parliament can accept."@en1
