lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, where the Council and the Member States are concerned, I often have the feeling, well, I am often reminded of a monitor lizard. Monitor lizards have forked tongues. Perhaps that is too complex a metaphor for the Member States, so let me simply say that they have a split personality. They want to impose more and more new tasks on the European Union – and to some extent we support that with our priorities – but they are not willing to equip the EU with the capacities it needs, in terms of adequate personnel, to perform these tasks. I have heard our fellow Members talking about the different policy areas, such as agriculture, as Mr De Castro has mentioned, but also cultural policy, research, environmental policy, social policy and regional development. These are tremendously important areas for all of the Member States and for the regions which we represent. What strikes me, however, is what the Member States are not doing. They are not considering who is meant to do the work on all of these policies. Who is supposed to process the applications? Who will ensure that the projects are implemented properly and funding is channelled to where it is needed? For that to happen, we need enough staff, and these staff must be properly qualified, highly skilled employees. We need the very best people we can find! We need a multicultural workforce from many different European Union countries, with more geographical balance and outstanding language skills. What does the Council want? What do the Member States want? They want to make cuts here! Unless we have an appropriate financial framework for administrative expenditure, we will not be in a position to work on any policy areas at all. With that in mind, I urge you, President-in-Office, to ensure that the Commission’s proposal on the staff regulations is accepted so that we have an appropriate framework that enables us to carry out this work!"@en1
