Vi var fornuftige nok til ikke at berøre spørgsmålet om den britiske rabat i vores budgetrevision, og vores endelige valg for fremtiden går ud på ikke at øge udgifterne, men at ændre forholdet mellem de nationale direkte betalinger og egne indtægter i henhold til traktatens og traktaternes fædres visioner for EU.
We were delicate enough not to touch the issue of the British rebate in our budgetary review and our eventual choice for the future is not to increase the expenditure but to change the proportions between the national direct payment and own resources, in line with the vision of the treaty and the founding fathers of the European Union.
