lpv:translated text	"Madam President, my party does not see any need for the budget for 2011 to be any larger than the one for 2010; it is not necessary. What we do want, however, is for the funds to be spent much more shrewdly, in a way that enables us to really achieve European added value. Unfortunately, the Council has not done so. On the contrary, it has maintained the very areas where the future does not lie – agriculture and cohesion – and is economising on knowledge, innovation, sustainability and energy: the very investments that will determine our competitive position in the future. I am not surprised, therefore, that no less than seven Member States voted against the Council common position. As you all know, the budget is cast in stone and we, Parliament, have virtually no flexibility to shuffle things between chapters. The Council, too, has already complained about this. It is also very regrettable that the review of the current financial perspective is only ready today, much too late to introduce that flexibility. The result of all this is that, as far as I am concerned, Parliament has no choice. We do have to increase the necessary investments in knowledge, innovation, sustainability and energy, resulting in a larger budget; but the Council leaves us no choice. Finally, Madam President, we need to be given our own resources, as that is the only way of inducing the Council to change its mind."@en1
