"Mr President, it is true that this type of debate should help us reach an agreement rather than make the situation even more difficult. I hope to be able to say that it is really in that spirit that we had this debate this afternoon.
Yes, there will be progress and we will have to try and find an agreement on flexibility and on financing ITER. Yes, this prospect for the 2012 and 2013 budgets will have to be subject to agreement and we are really striving to demonstrate that we have the ability to reach an agreement on this 2012-2013 prospect, particularly on the important issue of flexibility.
Secondly, yes, we will have debates within the context of Articles 312 and 324 in order to see how, in practice, we can implement and carry this out, and ensure that these articles and these new procedures become a reality. We will have to find common ground.
Today, I heard that the Commission was going to use its power to initiate legislation, whether on the issue of own resources, or for the multiannual framework. On the basis of these elements, we will have to get together, we will have to discuss, we will have to make sure that we abide by Articles 312 and 324 of the treaty, which include provisions to the effect that all elements need to be implemented in order to reach an agreement, to have these meetings and to carry out this coordination which would enable these new procedures laid down by the treaty to become a reality.
Regarding the flexible part for 2012-2013, we will have to implement these Articles 312 and 324 of the treaty, even if, once again – I must emphasise this point – we must ensure that the 2011 budget is passed. The credibility of the European Union is at stake. Also at stake is the effectiveness of the policies which will only be implemented if the 2011 budget is passed. We are only talking about the cohesion policies; that is all we are talking about. What is truly at stake here is our credibility and the implementation of our policies.
Thirdly, let us not vindicate those who do not want a budget so that the EU has even fewer resources at its disposal to carry out its policies. However, in order to prove them wrong, undoubtedly we need to support a conciliatory approach and make the most of these last few weeks in order to achieve this approach so that we all benefit from it, despite having had to make concessions. Yet at least this is a rationale that entails moving forward rather than backwards, which would be the case if we do not have the 2011 budget in the next few weeks."@en1
