lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I shall restrict myself to one point with this reduced speaking time. I should like to thank and congratulate Commissioner Lewandowski and say that after two years of budgetary austerity, the situation of the European budget is becoming untenable. For the Member States which finance most of the budget, the level of payment appropriations is no longer sustainable. Some Member States are themselves ruined; they can no longer increase their contribution to the European budget. The others are busy paying the previous budgets; so they, too, are unable to increase their contribution, which is calculated on the basis of the payment appropriations. On the other hand, however, as regards EU programmes in these latter years of the current multiannual financial framework, the level of payment appropriations is so low that, in reality, the Union is practically in default. This is not a default that affects lenders but local authorities, companies, researchers, innovators, all those who are carrying forward investment projects, on which a return to growth depends. That is why, before any negotiation on the next budget, we have a duty to closely examine the precise state of the requirements and the consumption of the payment appropriations. The more difficult the political agreement, the greater the need for us to guarantee that we are all actually talking about the same figures. We must be realistic, but a budget based on the principle of reality must start out from the same figures. I hope that, from there, we shall be able to arrive at the optimal solution both for the Council and for Parliament."@en1
