If politics is the art of the possible, the search for an agreement on the EU’s financial framework for 2007-2013 has proved to be the art of the minimum possible, which is not a cause for satisfaction.
The EU has over the last few years undergone a major enlargement process to include new countries and political integration. This needs to be matched by increased funding. For the prosperity and security project that the EU represents for its citizens to be a reality, it requires a financial framework to match that ambition and its new size. Furthermore, the notion of solidarity, which has always been an integral part of the make-up of the EU's financial institutions, is justified on the grounds that it is fair and that it seeks to promote a balanced and effective internal market.
In light of these considerations, and in particular the impossibility of going beyond the limited budgetary outcome, my vote in favour is coloured by this regret. It also comes, however, with the hope that the entire budgetary structure will in due course be rethought with a view to promoting a more development-friendly economy, via the review of the expenditure heading."@en1
