lpv:translated text	"Knowledge is the European Union’s competitive advantage, and we are responsible for the development of a knowledge-based society. The European Union can only offer a successful response to global changes through unity and the exploitation of knowledge, innovation and creativity at a European level. This is the essence of the Lisbon Strategy. All 25 Member States of the European Union have committed themselves to fulfilling the goals of this strategy. Its fulfilment will of course require adequate financial resources, both in the financial perspective and in the annual budget. A budget geared towards development is therefore extremely important for the common European future. The budget for 2006 is not important simply for the coming year, but will also be of key importance in the event of our failure to agree on the future financial perspective. For this reason I would prefer the budget to be significantly more development-orientated. Most of the resources in the budget are still earmarked for agriculture and structural measures, within which we find agriculture once again. Despite the increase in comparison with the 2005 budget, it is the area of internal policies that receives the smallest amount of resources in the 2006 budget and thereby the developmental part of European policies. The ceiling set by the financial perspective has only been achieved for rural development and internal policies remain more than two percent below the threshold. Nevertheless I remain realistic, and I wish to congratulate the European Union negotiators for their perseverance with the priorities that were set and for the funds they managed to secure. The increase in funds, although lower than we would wish for programmes that are of great importance for the Lisbon Strategy, is significant, and says much about the direction we have mapped out for the future. In the event of failed negotiations on the financial perspective, this means more development-orientated spending of European financial resources than was set out in the Luxembourg and British proposals for 2007-2013."@en1
