lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I became a member of the Temporary Committee on Policy Challenges and Budgetary Means where I argued in favour of our keeping to 1% of GDP. In view of this, I do not believe we should decide that the surplus from the 2004 budget should be used for expenditure in the 2005 budget. I do not believe that the structural fund, which is already growing in size through this expenditure, needs to become larger. It already amounts to more than EUR 8 billion. I do not therefore agree that I am expressing my displeasure at money not being spent. There are obviously reasons for money not being spent, and there is therefore nothing to be lost in examining issues extremely carefully when it comes to new expenditure. I am not, however, prepared to return these surpluses to the Member States. I believe, instead, that these funds should be used for the flexibility margin which, in my view, is too small. Otherwise, we shall often end up in situations in which we have to acknowledge that we cannot do what is necessary. We cannot foresee the future. I therefore believe that these resources should be used for developing the flexibility margin and not for developing structural funds."@en1
