lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Schulz is no longer present, but I think that he expressed what it is about very well indeed in his introduction. The problem with the Council very often is that they make concessions to us in the negotiations and then, when the ink on those concessions is dry, they forget and say that Parliament’s demands are outrageous ‘because the circumstances have changed so much since we signed, that everyone must understand that it is no longer possible’. In my opinion, it is completely clear: if you sign a contact, if you enter into an obligation, you should not be surprised when the bills come in and have to be paid. That is the way it is everywhere, including in Parliament. There is no point in saying that the budget cannot increase by more than inflation, and so on. It is simply a matter of fact that once you have entered into obligations, the time arrives when you have to pay. The question here is: are the Commission’s estimates right or not? There is always a great deal of misunderstanding about those estimates. This is because, if we were to believe the Member State’s own estimates that they submit to the Commission, then the budget would not have to increase by 6 or 7 % but double that. What we need first is a specific body at the level of the Member States to investigate carefully whether the estimates that the Member States submit to the Commission are correct or not. – I do have two minutes, by the way Mr President.– We need therefore to investigate whether these estimates are correct and if they are, then all that bickering about the budget for payments should not be so problematic every year. If you want the payments to be lower, there is only one solution and that is to reduce the obligations."@en1
