"Mr President, allow me to briefly join this debate. We are at the end of the seven-year period and now we are faced with a number of payments that we have to make, in addition to those from previous years, especially for cohesion policy. It is crazy that the money should flow back to Member States, to net contributors, in the early years. And then they refuse to pay the bills. Should we not just set one off against the other? They receive the returns first and get saddled with the bills.
A system whereby we skim off whatever is left over every year is crazy in itself and then, when the bills come, we pretend that the money is not there. So, we have to be a bit more creative. Our citizens do not understand any of this. Neither do I. Can we not do this differently?"@en1
