lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to say a few words on the need to move towards own resources reform. I believe that the dominating role of GNI-based revenue makes a decision on the EU budget over-politicised and less efficiency-oriented. It facilitates demands to freeze or to reduce EU spending. It leads to the logic expressed in the context of the 2011 budget negotiations that if we cut our national budgets due to the crisis, we should apply the same approach to the EU budget. It is, however, not at all obvious that with an additional own resource that would reduce the dependence on GNI, we can expect a revolution in EU capacities to finance growth and structural change. There is always a risk that the same coalition that adopts the budgetary decision in the Council can also adopt the same decision in the European Parliament. If we care for Europe, we should move away from responding to the expectations of Finance Ministers and move towards citizens’ expectations. The success of a national politician returning home from Brussels negotiations should not be based on the message that the government will pay less to the EU budget but, for example, on the message that the EU will help to make small companies fund innovation projects. It is clear that the way EU costs are financed should be fully transparent. This could be easier to achieve with only one tax, but it is also feasible to build the revenue on a group of taxes that meet criteria on transparency, equity, visibility, efficiency and sufficient harmonisation."@en1
