"Mr President, the UK Presidency has presented its proposals broken down into figures for the financial perspective 2007-2013. We feared the worst. We were not wrong.
Following nine months of work by the temporary committee on the financial perspective, the European Parliament had reached a satisfactory compromise, enabling Europe to be guaranteed an ambitious and coherent future. In contrast, Mr Blair is proposing drastic cuts and jeopardising the European Union project. He is attacking the Structural Funds, rural development, youth and culture, and is making the funding of the Globalisation Adjustment Fund downright precarious. We must reach a mature position, for the sake of European integration. Let us put a stop to national self-interest and to the anachronistic benefits enjoyed by certain Member States. The United Kingdom must re-evaluate its contribution to the budget by doing more than just implementing a cosmetic measure.
Europe is a joint project, not a trading floor. Let us also use the borrowing options available to us to provide ourselves with the resources to succeed. The European project and the solidarity we require with our new partners depend on our doing so."@en1
