"Not since 1988 has Europe seen such fundamental disagreement between Parliament and its institutional partners with regard to the European budget. This is an historic moment: will the Council, and particularly the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Denmark, allow themselves to see that Europe is all about pooling resources to do better together? Some Member States are adopting an inconsistent approach: they are cutting their national budgets in the name of restraint and calling on the EU to solve their problems by giving it ambitious tasks to fulfil. Then, just as these ambitions are about to be realised, they rebel against the voracious budgetary demands. Galileo, ITER, the EU 2020 strategy, the European External Action Service – they all cost money! Will we have to fight each year to obtain a token contribution from stubborn Member States that will subsequently accuse Europe of being ineffective and superfluous? I am therefore in favour of a debate on own resources, of respect for the Treaty of Lisbon and of an ambitious and realistic Europe."@en1
