"Mr President, the failure to agree in conciliation was, in my view, regrettable, not least because the press response sent a very negative message to the public. It gave the impression that it was the Parliament refusing to cooperate unless they received more money. In fact, the President of Parliament, before he left the Chamber, set out the case very clearly.
This is a technical dispute. It is a retrospective issue regarding EUR 9 billion, which is the sum which is reflected in draft amending budget 6. Long term, as Mr Mulder has just pointed out, the lessons to be learned are that we need far greater security and control of estimates and costs from the Member States. But for the immediate what we want to see is a freeze in the size of the 2013 budget.
So we fully accept that we cannot reasonably be expected to carry forward such a large liability, a liability which would be in excess of EUR 20 billion, from 2012 to 2013. It is clear that this is an issue for Council to resolve. I therefore think that we in this Parliament should seek a positive engagement with Council with a view to an early conclusion."@en1
