"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, this interim report on the multiannual financial framework offers some interesting points that we agree with, such as the need to maintain expenditure at a moderate and sustainable level and the need for greater flexibility in the use of resources. The crucial point, however, is how to finance all of this. The current mechanism is not sustainable and introduction of new forms of correction and compensation for the Member States is not acceptable. In the last decade Italy’s average annual net contribution has been about EUR 5 billion. Northern Italy must at the same time support a country that is falling apart and a Europe that acts only in the interests of Germany and a few other countries. The United Kingdom, Germany and other countries have obtained corrections they now wish to retain. This is not possible, unless we are also to introduce a correction for the Po Valley area, in order to compensate for what the citizens of Northern Italy contribute to central government in Rome and to Brussels, with very little in return."@en1
