"Mr President, we know very well that most countries highlight the fact that they pay as little as possible and receive as much as possible back again. We therefore run the risk that, during the negotiations in the coming days, we will de-prioritise common, forward-thinking investment in research, education, transport and energy.
One of the most exciting proposals that the Commission has come up with is a fund for investment in transport and energy, the Connecting Europe facility. I think it is important to defend this newly-created investment opportunity. Mr Daul has mentioned that the Baltic States have good railway links to Moscow. They clearly should have, because we will not have a railway that links them to the rest of Europe if there is no money in the Connecting Europe facility.
The resources side of things risks becoming even more Byzantine and complicated than it is at present, and we do not need that. We need in the future to have a simple, fair and transparent system for the EU’s own resources, without any special rules and rebates, and for its part my group will place a very, very great amount of emphasis on having a binding plan for this."@en1
