". I voted in favour of the proposed financial perspective for 2007-2013. I still feel, however, that the proposal originally adopted by Parliament was far more beneficial to the EU, not only from the quantitative point of view but also, especially, on account of the methodology used. Whilst the proposal adopted by Parliament is the consequence of defining policies and priorities and as such is the true expression of a policy, the Council’s decision, being more of a summary of claims made by the Member States, does not have the same quality. In spite of this, I voted in favour of the proposal because it would be highly damaging if the European institutions did not have a medium-term financial framework in which to prepare development-related projects. A further significant reason for voting in favour of the proposal concerns the commitment to review both revenue and spending. I consider this point to be of major importance, given that I have on a number of occasions expressed the view that the current method of funding the EU has run its course. For the first time, it has become clear that this reform will take on crucial importance and will require Parliament’s involvement."@en1
