Blue-card answer.
– Mr President, I think I did cover it in my remarks when I said I could not understand why the Commission would remove the type of funding that it already has.
I also did stress that Member States already have huge difficulties, and I could not see them coming forward with additional funding for these products. Ms Ţicău is absolutely right because many Member States could find themselves excluded from these huge programmes. Yes, she is absolutely right, and this is why it is absolutely paramount that the budget stays within the confines of the European Union.
