"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the speeches made by my fellow Members highlight the great difficulties we are having in moving away from the ‘glass-half-empty or half-full’ attitude. Many Members have seen the glass as ‘half-full'; many others have seen it as half-empty. Yet, what is the one significant political action, aside from the partial results on each budget chapter, that makes us realise that this is a good result? I believe that it is a political result, in the sense that Parliament has shown itself to be active and capable of relaunching an intergovernmental decision and of turning it into a decision with a European outlook. We owe our gratitude for this both to Mr Böge and the negotiating team and to all those who have demonstrated that they are constructively concerned about the future of a generation. Allow me, in that connection, to highlight the fact that the positive outcome of this political initiative can also be seen in the set of rules that accompany the budget outturn and that will allow for access to Community programmes in such a way as to ensure sound financial management. In my capacity as rapporteur for the trans-European networks, moreover, I must stress that these networks represent one of the key factors in achieving the European Union’s targets for economic growth and employment, as identified in the Lisbon Agenda. I would therefore emphasise the need for Community resources to be used primarily on cross-border sections with high European added value, and subsequently call upon the Member States to make a commitment regarding the national sections of the networks."@en1
