Rådet er af den mening, at budgetdisciplin er en uundgåelig begrænsning for Fællesskabets budget i år, hvor medlemsstaterne på nationalt plan står over for nogle meget hårde og vanskelige budgetbeslutninger.
The Council is of the opinion that respect for strict budgetary discipline is an unavoidable constraint for the Community budget this year, when Member States at national level are facing some very tough and difficult budgetary decisions.
