As the President-in-Office of the Council pointed out, this naturally means that the budget of what may be left of the WEU will be drastically reduced but, to our great amazement, he is at the same time quite negative about the idea that the European Union' s budget should increase accordingly in this respect.
Det betyder naturligvis, sådan som rådsformanden sagde, at EU's budget vedrørende eventuelle rester fra WEU sænkes drastisk. Vi finder det derfor også overraskende, at rådsformanden indtager en negativ holdning til idéen om, at EU's budget på dette område stiger tilsvarende.
