lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, it seems to me that this debate should be more a question of procedure than a question of substance. It is obvious that, in the short term, we have to find a solution to avert this crisis and avert the risk of shutdown. I am satisfied that the Council has taken the right, appropriate and responsible decisions, and I am confident this House will do so too. In the longer term, however, we need to think hard about measures we can take to reduce the risk of finding ourselves in this position once again. It seems obvious to me that, because we are working within the constraints of a smaller budget; because we have considerably increased the spending on Heading 1A – something which I welcome and fully support; and because we have not at the same time radically altered spending on other headings, we will find ourselves forced to operate within much tighter budget margins in the future. The likelihood of finding ourselves back in difficulty would thus increase. Can I take this opportunity, therefore, to encourage the Commission to review the way that information is communicated to the other institutions? Certainly this House, as a responsible scrutiny body, needs better-quality information, and that information needs to be more readily accessible to the Members. As a last thought, I suggest that it is time to review the architecture of the budget. Take the example of the ongoing liability of the outstanding commitments which we are building up. In the long term, this is an unsustainable liability. Is it not time that we looked at it again?"@en1
