"Mr President, the Treaty of Lisbon will radically reform the budgetary procedure of the European Union. The multi-annual financial framework will become mandatory, the classification of expenditure into compulsory and non-compulsory expenditure will go, and budget proceedings will be shorter.
I support the five-year financial framework for the term of office of the European Parliament and Commission. It will result in more efficient work and allow the institutions to establish their own policy strategies.
It is becoming an awkward process drafting the budget. It makes one wonder who could have developed such a complicated system. So far it has been clear as to which institution decides the final figures for the budget. Now there has to be consensus on each detail, which can mean very intensive negotiations in the Conciliation Committee.
For Parliament the new procedure will require a strengthening of available human resources. Otherwise it will not be fully able to exercise its powers in the drafting of the budget, in general, or in the administration of the EU, in particular.
Finally, I wish to thank the rapporteurs, and Mrs Catherine Guy-Quint especially, for their excellent reports and, more generally, for their excellent levels of cooperation over the years."@en1
