lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would also like to express my great satisfaction with the result that we have achieved, with Parliament having secured the necessary funds for Palestine, the necessary appropriations for research, and also the funding for the fusion energy project ITER for next year, without cuts in the framework programme for research being too large. Nevertheless, I do have one concern about the result that we have achieved and that concerns Amendment No 6. I think we will find ourselves in an extremely intolerable situation if we have the Council/Member States, on the one hand, promising to come up with extra funds if there should be a need for them, saying that they will ensure that the EU can pay its bills, but then, when the Commission approaches them and needs more money to be able to pay the bills, several countries say that they do not believe that the Commission’s figures are correct – without even providing a description of the correct figures. In my view, that is a completely intolerable situation. Of course we must pay our bills. Mr Lewandowski mentioned that 50-60% of the EU’s budget is an investment budget and that, at the start of the period, the bills that need to be paid are not so large, but that they are large at the end of the period, and right now we are at the end of the seven-year programming period. The first e-mail that I opened after arriving home from the budget negotiations was from a Danish research company. It asked what is happening at the moment, and continued by saying that it has always been difficult to get money out of the EU, but that the payments were now being delayed more than ever before. I believe that we are creating problems for ourselves down the line, and I would simply like to ask the Council to make sure that we fulfil our responsibility and to ensure that the EU can pay its bills. It would be unacceptable to do anything else."@en1
