"We have chosen to vote against both of these reports as we consider that the total payment appropriations should be below 1% of the total GNI of the EU Member States in accordance with the proposal from the G6 countries. Nor do we see any reason to celebrate the fact that the EU’s budget has been increased by EUR 4 billion by means of yet another round of negotiations initiated by the federalist majority in the European Parliament. This money would have been better spent on the political priorities of the Member States in respect of expenditure. We therefore reject the agreement on the Financial Perspective for 2007-2013.
We also emphatically take exception to the debates in the European Parliament in relation to there being a need to reform the system for own resources and to the EU needing its own source of income, for example by means of a tax being levied on mobile phones across the entire Union. The EU budget must depend on membership fees from the Member States, and the size of these membership fees must be decided by the Council of Ministers."@en1
