"Mr President, Parliament’s draft budget for 2006 implies an increase of 1.04% in the Member States’ average gross national income. I regret that Parliament is trying to increase expenditure on a large number of items without proposing corresponding and adequate economies in other areas. The Council, by which I mean the Member States’ governments, proposes that expenditure be limited to 1.01% of gross national income for 2006. I support that proposal.
It is the various Member States that should establish the framework for expenditure. The Member States and the net contributors have felt able to accept that it be done at that level. My basic attitude is that Parliament should have significant influence over the prioritising within this framework but that political responsibility in the various countries for how much tax should be collected lies with the national governments. Parliament should not constantly try to increase the budget. That is going too far. Parliament should confine itself to the main task of prioritising within the framework established by the Member States."@en1
