lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, President Barroso’s final proposal for the 2007-2013 financial perspective contains the following, seemingly contradictory, proposals. In general point 4 it is stated that: ‘the maximum total figure for expenditure ... for 2007-2013 is EUR 862.363 million’ and that ‘all figures are expressed using constant 2004 prices’, but that ‘there will be automatic ... adjustments for inflation’. The British rebate under point 78 is qualified as follows: ‘During the period 2007-2013 the additional contribution from the UK shall not be higher than EUR 10.5 billion’. These two points seem to be in conflict and raise the question of whether the EUR 10.5 billion is subject to an automatic annual technical adjustment for inflation. If so, there will be a substantial extra cost. British Parliament votes are expressed in current sterling values and are not subject to automatic adjustments for inflation. Exactly how much is the EU expecting the British taxpayer to pay, and is this legal?"@en1
