". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as spokesperson for the ALDE Group, I would first like to express my appreciation of the work done by our fellow Member, the rapporteur, Mr Virrankoski, and in particular I would like to tell him that we wholly support the strategy he has developed on Galileo with the agreement of the Committee on Budgets. Europe needs Galileo. We want funding for Galileo to be Community funding and we want the appropriations to be guaranteed without having a negative impact on other priorities. I would also like to thank our rapporteur for having kept in the list of pilot projects a few we were particularly committed to, in particular the rapid alert mechanism for child abductions or disappearances. I would like to say a word about the report by Mr Itälä who, unfortunately, is not in the chamber. I appreciate the initiatives to increase the resources available to regional media for publicising Community initiatives among citizens. I believe that the regional and local media can have a much greater impact than certain centralised, more bureaucratic initiatives. However, I must say that there is an initiative in Mr Itälä’s report that I do not like at all. This is the increase by EUR 1 000 per month in the secretarial expenses for each MEP. I do not like this initiative, which is a product of an agreement between two political groups, by chance the two largest, and which happens to come along the year before the European elections. I consider it a disguised subsidy for the re-election of a number of our fellow Members and I will be voting against this provision."@en1
