"Mr Böge’s report represents Parliament’s mandate for negotiation with a view to the next financial perspective for 2007-2013.
I voted against this report for the following reasons.
1. The process of ratification of the Constitutional Treaty showed that some of the nations of Europe had doubts about the effectiveness of European socio-economic policies. I am convinced that the European Union has to have an ambitious budget that gives to the Community’s authorities the means of carrying out their task. The Böge report, which fixes the payment appropriations at 1.7% of the Gross National Income, does not measure up to this challenge.
2. The emphasis on budgetary restraint undermines the European commitment towards farmers. It also threatens the viability of the common market organisation (CMO) for sugar, the reform of which it will not be possible to finance. I do not accept that farmers should become the victims of national self-interest, implicit in the Böge report.
3. The introduction of joint financing, which opens the way to renationalisation of the common agricultural policy (CAP), is, in my opinion, unacceptable. It signals a departure from the only public policy that is genuinely European, at a moment in our history when Europe needs to become stronger by sharing its strengths. Giving in to national misgivings would further widen the gap between Europe and its nations."@en1
