lpv:translated text	"This Draft Amending Budget seeks to enter in the 2011 budget the surplus from the 2010 financial year, ‘in accordance with Article 15 of the Financial Regulation’. Parliament has expressed its ‘firm conviction that the part of income calculated from interest on late payments and fines is not to be considered as a surplus and should therefore not be deducted from the Member States' contributions’ and that it ‘considers, on the contrary, that such income […] should be directly put back and reinvested in the EU budget’. The Council has shown itself to be critical of this position. However, Parliament turns its back on what has been said and is adopting the Council’s position without any amendments. Given that the EU has decided that this 2010 surplus (EUR 4.54 billion) is to be reduced in accordance with the contributions of the Member States for the 2011 budget, this means that the reductions in question are much larger in countries with stronger economies than in countries with weaker economies; take the example of Germany, with a reduction of EUR 923 million, compared with Portugal, with a reduction of EUR 59 million. This ends up increasing unfairness in the distribution of the surplus, so preventing a real cohesion policy. We therefore voted against this report."@en1
