"Madam President, as soon as we consider the multiannual financial framework, it seems that everyone holds a discussion about the level of the budget. It is a kind of national hobby that all we do is look at ‘how much’ it costs. What kind of small-minded mentality is that? The mentality seems to be spreading from the Netherlands throughout Europe, and I find that completely incomprehensible. We must now discuss the content of the budget. If we are to be discussing the level of the budget, though, I have one simple figure to add: the Dutch government is going to increase its national budget by 10% over the next four years. If we are going to discuss money, then, we should discuss this, too.
No, we must now discuss the content of the budget. What do we want to achieve with this budget? The Commission then comes out and says that 30% greening is to take place. What exactly does that mean, however? The first pillar of agriculture has to be ‘greened’. What exactly do we mean by that? When it comes to the energy infrastructure, again we come up against the issue of greening. 30% is not greening, however. If you really want to make energy infrastructure more sustainable, you have to invest much more money in order to ensure that the priorities are energy saving and sustainable energy. Will the Commission do that?
Finally, I turn to the issue of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), which you are now leaving out of the budget. Does that mean, however, that no more extra EU money will go to this project? I would like Mr Barroso to answer that question for me."@en1
