"Mr President, in the negotiations with the Council on the 2011 budget, the European Parliament did everything in order for agreement to be reached. The only demand is to fulfil the Council’s undertakings, for example, the Europe 2020 strategy and the need to finance it, and to comply with the Treaty of Lisbon. In truth, under the treaty, the European Parliament has to be involved – by voting, giving opinions, or being consulted – in the new interinstitutional agreement, in the next multiannual financial framework and in establishing new own resources. These demands are logical, reasonable, in the public interest, and in the interests of preventing interinstitutional risks and conflicts: they are demands that the Council should share and uphold. As regards the interinstitutional agreement, it is obvious that respect for the commitments made by European institutions, specifically the Council, is conditional on the existence of flexibility regarding the current multiannual financial framework. The Europe 2020 strategy, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor programme, the European External Action Service and the financial supervision entities are some examples of things that need financing. The Council needs to take the Treaty of Lisbon on board, both from the point of view of the areas newly under the jurisdiction of the European Union, which are reflected in the budget, and from the point of view of the European Parliament’s strengthened powers, not least regarding the budget. These changes in fact strengthen the democratic legitimacy of the Union’s institutions. The use of the Community method rather than the intergovernmental approach makes our governance more democratic. I hope that a few national egos do not obstruct the European project of peace, solidarity and progress, or put it at risk."@en1
