lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the majority of my group is going to vote in favour of the agreement on the financial perspective 2007-2013, reflecting our sense of responsibility. We want the new Members States to be able to begin to use the Structural and Cohesion Funds fully from next year, in order to promote their growth and true economic convergence with the most prosperous regions of the Union. The agreement is not very generous, but we are sure that it can be a useful instrument during these first years of accession, not just in terms of the economic development of those regions, but also in order to demonstrate to the Europeans of the new Member States that one of the distinguishing marks of our Europe is solidarity. Neither do we want to add a budgetary crisis to the current political crisis in the Union, which has not just been created by the 'no' votes on the Constitution, but also by the negative campaigns against the integration process, which are having so much success in certain countries. I believe these to be the fundamental reasons for our vote in favour. Nevertheless, given our desire to move ahead with the construction of an increasingly strong, fair and cooperative Europe, we have serious doubts about whether it is appropriate to vote in favour. We do not like this financial perspective as a whole. It is not the financial perspective that Europe needs at the beginning of the 21st century. It is insufficient and it has been strangled by national interests. Our countries’ leaders appear to have forgotten that everybody benefits from European integration. So far everybody has gained from it. There are no net contributors; that hackneyed notion is merely a fallacy dreamt up by bad accountants. Representatives of the Council, this time we are going to give our approval, but we will be watching to see what happens next. As any document shows, we are talking about a review in 2009. If you do not propose valid solutions for the Union very soon, we will have to impose them ourselves."@en1
