Poos, som sagde, at PPE-Gruppens forslag er uacceptabelt med hensyn til beløbsstørrelsen til Irak, fordi den kræver et FN-mandat. Hr. Poos har åbenbart ikke læst PPE-Gruppens ændringsforslag, for netop i dette PPE-forslag henvises der som referenceværdi til den beslutning, som vi vil vedtage her i Parlamentet i morgen.
Mr President, Commissioner, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, ladies and gentlemen, I would also like to say something about some of this Budget's foreign policy aspects and will start by responding to Mr Poos, who said that the amendment tabled by the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats is unacceptable in terms of the amount that it proposes for Iraq, as a UN mandate is required.
