lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I should like to thank our rapporteur, Mr Elles, for his visionary proposal regarding the work on the 2007 budget. It is visionary because he thinks several years ahead, because importance is attached to complying with the new framework for external policy and because focus is placed on that part of the budget designed to secure economic growth and strengthen the EU’s global competitiveness. I would particularly draw attention to the new cost-benefit thinking in the budget whereby, year by year, we are to assess the value of the individual programmes in relation to their costs. The information we gather in that way will, of course, form part of an evaluation and mid-term review of the multi-annual budgetary framework for 2008-2009. Now is the time for us to prepare the ground for reconfiguring the budgetary framework so that its focus is on new needs and no longer on things that do not work properly. Efficiency and a certain ‘quid pro quo’ must be the watchwords for the EU budget. All of this work must take place in close cooperation with the specialist committees. We shall thus be further developing the ever closer cooperation of recent years with the specialist committees in developing the annual budget. In the foreign policy area we must now comply with the new sets of rules whereby Parliament is involved in developing strategic frameworks and thus obtains a basis for monitoring the policy conducted. We shall thus be able to see whether we are achieving the goals laid down by means of the budget. The method of working to be used in this connection must, of course, be developed, and it is important that the work get off to a good start. The new budgetary framework means that there will be respectable growth in that part of the budget that goes on research, innovation, education and transport. I should like, however, to emphasise that the appropriations for investment in transport are not at all in keeping with the Member States’ own ambitions for the trans-European networks. The Commission has pulled out all the stops to ensure far better implementation of the projects, and now the Council must show that it intends to comply with its own decisions. It is the Member States that are responsible for coming up with the funding if they do not wish to pay via the budget."@en1
