lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we must thank the rapporteurs who, under some extremely difficult conditions with virtually no possible scope for negotiation, have successfully fulfilled, as far as has been possible, the European Parliament’s objectives. We must also be pleased that there is a budget and that we have reached agreement on it. During the current crisis, I believe that having a budgetary crisis as well was not helpful. We only reached this situation thanks to the prudent actions of Parliament, which could have blocked the whole process. Unfortunately, we have not seen the same degree of prudence in the Council. We have gone through the budgetary procedure twice so far, as stipulated by the Treaty of Lisbon. The exact same scenario has taken place every time: the Council imposed the figures for payments and did not agree to any kind of negotiation, which is not normal at all. I do not believe that this procedure of stating the figures and then making the allocations in the European policies is the normal procedure. In my view, we should do the reverse: we should see what the requirements are first, then calculate the budget. The Council has issued a statement each time, committing itself to accept budget amendments where the amounts required for payments cannot be achieved. It has not kept its word: just look at what happened with Amendment No 6 to the budget. I do not know whether it will do this next year. We cannot carry on like this, not having confidence in the figures presented by the Commission. There are two procedures of paramount importance coming up next year: the 2013 budget and the multiannual financial framework (MFF). If we are going to go through the exact same procedure, I do not believe that this will be beneficial to the European Union."@en1
