lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the benefit of speaking towards the end is that one can hear what earlier speakers have to say. There is a problem here, but it is a political one: there are some groups and individuals here who do not understand or do not subscribe to the concept of European added value as being the way in which the Union budget has an added effect and a very positive one on the economy of the Union. It seems perfectly normal to me that some MEPs should not agree with it and want to reduce the budget by around 10 % or 20 %, or indeed end up without a Community budget, and why not? That would be the best saving that you could make… My concern, however, is that the Council itself has lost sight of what European added value is. Shall I tell you why? It is because the Union budget is managed by Finance Ministers, whereas the Union budget should be discussed by Ministers for European Affairs, who have an idea of what Europe is all about, not Finance Ministers. This problem points to why we will never agree on the budget and why we will never reach agreement on the forthcoming financial perspectives. The 2013 budget illustrates this point perfectly: they gave us a few commitment appropriations to enable us to launch a few Community programmes, and yet they are denying us the possibility of obtaining enough payment appropriations to carry out those programmes. By acting in this way, all we are doing is increasing the frustration of European citizens and playing into the hands of those who feel that the Union budget is pointless. It is not pointless; it is the most useful instrument we have in Europe for promoting growth and jobs."@en1
