I have highlighted this balance in order to illustrate - and this very point was raised in your debate on the European Parliament budget - that the term budgetary rigour is certainly not a concept which is foreign to the European budget and it is being applied.
Jeg har understreget saldoen endnu en gang for at gøre det klart - og det er jo egentlig også kommet til udtryk i Deres debat om Europa-Parlamentets budget - at ordet budgetdisciplin heller ikke er noget fremmedord for det europæiske budget, men et princip, som følges.
