". The questions have been very politically important for us, including the question I received from Mr Vakalis, but at this stage it is very difficult precisely to guarantee any results during the negotiation process. That is why I would like to say that I organised a reply in quite a general political manner and I would like to read out this answer officially.
As the Honourable Member implies, the deadlock on the financial perspective has done nothing to reduce the urgency to reach an agreement. There is a real risk that the necessary measures will not be in place to allow Union policies to be delivered effectively beyond 2006.
We must remain focused on the goal of a better balanced budget with a good compromise between existing spending on our tried-and-tested policies, and our new policy agenda for growth and jobs.
The Commission will provide full support for the UK Presidency, and looks forward to working to promote a timely agreement. The Commission also looks forward to the efforts of the Presidency of the Council to lead the debate and take the initiatives required to reach a compromise. When there are significant differences between Member States on the function and the focus of the EU budget, the need for compromise is very clear to everybody.
The Commission will continue to work actively to find a compromise which will enjoy the necessary support amongst Member States, and will allow for the agreement of Parliament, the Council and the Commission to the interinstitutional agreement setting up the new financial perspective."@en1
