".
I have voted in favour of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and good financial management, not because these were the financial perspectives of my dreams, but because I welcome the qualitative improvements in financial management and because, since the prospective budgets just about make the grade, we should not throw out the baby with the bath water.
Parliament has, I believe, done a good job – better than ever before and, above all, better than the two other institutions. It is thanks to our preparatory work and negotiators that we, despite the Commission’s half-hearted commitment and governments’ tight-fistedness, have firm prospects. In the current circumstances, this agreement is better than the absolute uncertainty surrounding the entire financial policy.
There is one thing that still sticks in my throat, and that is the treatment meted out to rural development, along with the possible moves towards the renationalisation of agricultural policy. Since we have no guarantees, though, of being able to get agricultural policy on the right track without either the Constitution or financial perspectives, this was not a good enough reason to reject the whole initiative."@en1
