"Mr President, the new financial perspective is a compromise. Is it a good compromise? Some earlier proposals would doubtless have been better for Europe and its future. Financially speaking, the European Union is not as strong as it could have been if we had managed to reach a consensus on a larger budget. In Polish there is a saying that ‘if you do not get what you like, you have to like what you get’. Today it seems that this compromise is a success. However, we will only find out after 2013 whether it will be viewed as equally successful in the future. At that point we will have to look at the level of cohesion in the European Union, the extent to which the European economy is competitive, the level of unemployment and the state of the education system and of scientific research. It is difficult to reach a universal consensus with regard to basic budget priorities. I am convinced that an important dimension of European solidarity is practical solidarity in the form of cohesion policy. The quality of the implementation of this financial perspective will determine whether the European Union’s biggest enlargement to date, in 2004, will be fully exploited and completed. I hope that this will indeed happen and that no one will have any doubts that the return of 10 countries to the European family was right and beneficial not only to those countries, but also to all Europeans. Europe will be greater and more powerful at a relatively low price."@en1
