lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the next report we voted on here concerns the EU’s own resources, and I voted against. This was not on the basis of the detailed amendments that will be made in relation to the collection of VAT from Member States, but because, as we all know very well, when we talk about own resources it means that the EU does not only want to prepare for having money sent to it in the form of a cheque from Member States once a year; it wants to put its hands directly into citizens’ pockets. Some people want it as a duty on aviation fuel, some want it as a direct VAT rate, others want it as a direct tax on financial transactions. The crucial thing is that, irrespective of which group we belong to, if we go in for EU taxes, we will eliminate the necessary link that must exist between being directly elected by citizens and having permission to obtain direct access to citizens’ pockets. This link simply does not exist in the EU, because in the EU it is the Commissioners who have the right of initiative, it is they who submit the proposals, it is they who execute the decisions, and in return they have the privilege of not being elected by anyone other than themselves and the government that has chosen to install them. The whole principle of own resources must therefore be dropped. It does not belong in a place like the EU."@en1
