lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I am very pleased that we have this document before us at last. It is good that it has come into being and that it has now been submitted to us. Of course, one can always complain that this could have been done earlier and so forth. I think that, above all, we should at this moment commend one particular feature of the document, which is the fact that it raises taboo issues. We should not at this moment be treating any questions which are in any way related to the budget as taboo, and we should be talking about everything, including about own resources. This is most definitely to be commended. I would also like to issue a warning about a certain danger related to the discussion about new own resources. As we know, this is a very difficult discussion, a discussion which may easily block all other talks about what the European Union budget should be like and what we have already learned from the current financial framework. We should not allow ourselves to be manoeuvred into a dead-end street. We should broaden the horizons of our discussion and not get stuck on the subject of own resources, which will, in fact, make it impossible for us to find a solution. I would like to emphasise that the income side of the European Union budget should be stable and predictable. We should always remember the great achievement of the European Union budget, which is the fact that it is balanced. It is a budget which does not bring us into debt. This value should continue to be a guiding principle. I would also like to emphasise that new own resources should make the European Union’s income stable and predictable and, in addition, should not bring us into debt. I think we should give thought to this and remember that the current income of the European Union, based as it is on the gross national product of individual Member States, is not so bad a system that we have to reject it. The new system should, in my opinion, be a combination of new and old. We should, to a large extent, be thinking about reform, but, in addition, we should not reject what is a good tradition. In other words, both continuation and change – the one does not preclude the other. We should begin with what is already working successfully and not reject this, so that we do not get bogged down with a discussion only about own resources, and that we think, in fact, about how to construct the new financial framework."@en1
