"Mr President, both of the reports presented today are based on making assessments we have been forced to make by the decisions of various bodies of the European Union. Evaluating the tools of Activity Based Management, Activity Based Budgeting or ‘Strategic Planning and Programming’ may be necessary, but give the impression of creating ‘art for art’s sake’. How can achieving political objectives be compared with building a power station or transport networks? Is the European Union a business undertaking to which we are attempting to apply similar mechanisms of assessing efficiency?
The same applies to the mid-term review of the multiannual financial framework. Every day we are carrying out evaluations and diverting resources from our annual budgets. These decisions are made by the European Council, which increases the funding available for implementing important individual tasks. Stable multiannual financial frameworks give us all a multiannual sense of safety, and that is what we should appreciate the most, particularly in the difficult times at present.
I cordially congratulate Mr Böge and Mr Virrankoski on their very good reports. Mrs Grybauskaitė, I wish you the greatest success in the coming elections."@en1
