lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this is indeed a rather solemn day: the Lisbon package – as it is called – is finally coming before Parliament; the Czech Senate has given a sign of hope; many are taking the floor for the last time, the emotion is palpable; we are in the process of bringing this parliamentary term to a close, and many of us are quite emotional. A really historic atmosphere prevails in this late-night session of Parliament. As a Janus Member – half constitutional, half budgetary – I would like today to speak a little more specifically about Mrs Guy-Quint’s report on the new budget system and about the impact that the Treaty of Lisbon will have on this new system. As has been said, it is above all a more democratic system. Henceforth, all spending – the entire budget – will be agreed under the codecision procedure between the Council and Parliament. It is also, and this is even more important, a more political budget, since we have – as Mrs Guy-Quint calls it – interinstitutional strategic programming, in other words, all of the bodies of the European Union agree to bring the budget into being. However, this is a system that still contains uncertainties. Will Parliament, for example, really play what is, in theory, its strengthened role? Will it enjoy this new power, given that there are also problems? We have less time; there is only a single reading. It is therefore up to Parliament to seize – and this is a challenge in itself – this opportunity to play its role. Will the five-year budgetary term coincide with or be accentuated by the five-year parliamentary term? It is not certain. On this issue, too, we need to make an effort. There are also lost opportunities. We lost the opportunity to provide ourselves with more own resources, we lost the opportunity – please allow me 10 more seconds, since we are in a formal late-night sitting – to implement a new budget philosophy. To end, I would like to stress that we face challenges: the challenge of the transition – it is not easy to go straight over to a new system – and the challenge of flexibility – we need more flexibility if we are to face up to the crises. I will finish with the wish that all this might be carried forward with the implementation of the Treaty of Lisbon."@en1
