Despite a measure of convergence over the figures and volumes for 2011
some national delegations were not ready to enter discussions on political
elements with the Parliament.
and on the modalities of cooperation for the future, therefore
we have decided to enter the next round on Monday,
which is the deadline to agree hopefully on the 2011 budget
So now everybody has their own homework to do
For me this is the role of facilitator as usual, a role i am doing already
for the elements of a political agreement
I need to be very clear on this
This is about implementation of the Lisbon treaty
we are developing three articles of the Lisbon treaty
to shape cooperation between the Council and Parliament
over the future of European finances
Our message is very clear; We need to agree
and that is our role now over the weekend
The Commission is very mush concerned over a potential failure
this is not only a test of budget powers, but of the Lisbon Treaty
and we cannot deliver this message that its working without testing it
We should have a new text, which is already a work in progress
so the third round on Monday, should be the final round
and we are finding common responsibilities, and solutions to the problem.
