"Madam President, Madam Vice-President of the Commission, Commissioners, Mr Almunia, better and better legislation requires better and better budgeting. There is, and there will be, no new legislation or new initiatives for next year unless the Community institutions, the Commission in particular, carry out a full assessment of the availability of funds and of how to allocate the resources in the manner demanded by the Union's citizens.
In other words, the Union, and the European Commission, need legislative priorities and budgetary priorities that are in unison. At the moment, the Commission’s current work programme is not consistent with the resolution adopted by the European Parliament for the annual political strategy or with the first reading of the European Parliament for 2007.
I would remind you of paragraph 47 of our resolution on the Annual Political Strategy, in which we insist that the European institutions must reach an agreement on this legislative programme in December 2006, in order to coincide with the end of the budgetary procedure for 2007.
I shall end by mentioning the budgetary principles laid out by the European Parliament for the conditions for releasing the reserve for European Commission staff posts in 2007. When it comes to these conditions, Parliament is the European Commission's ally here, rather than the Council. In particular, we are asking for a commitment to improving the procedure for delivery to the European Parliament of the Commission’s legislative and work programme which leads to the presentation, in February 2007, of a legislative work programme for that year and which takes account of our budgetary vote in December.
You, and the Commissioner responsible for budgets in particular, are perfectly aware of the situation and we therefore hope that we can reach an agreement at the conciliation on the 21st."@en1
