lpv:translated text	"We believe that the EU budget needs to have sufficient resources to be able to finance the commitments that have been decided upon. At the same time, we would like to emphasise that the EU ought, as far as possible, to have an attitude of restraint and provide these resources by means of redistribution within the existing EU budget. We would prefer to see the agricultural budget reduced in favour of the priorities of research and development, conversion to green energy, regional development, etc. set out in the Europe 2020 strategy. We also believe that it is very important to improve the efficiency of the EU’s administrative expenditure, and one way of doing this is to increase the transparency of the process for distributing and using this expenditure. We are open to a reform of the current rebate system – which is enormously complicated – if this reform contributes to greater transparency and provided that Sweden is not disadvantaged. We do not believe that this should be made conditional upon approval of a new long-term budget, however. Neither do we believe that new own resources should be introduced. However, a change in this system does not give the EU a direct right of taxation; the Treaty does not provide for any such competence for the Union. Any change to the own resources system also requires the approval of all Member States in order for it to enter into force."@en1
