After numerous vain attempts on its part, the Commission felt that, as the ninth EDF was due to expire in 2007, when the enlargement of the EU would already have taken place and as the debate on the financial framework after 2006 had started, it was time for another debate on the inclusion of the EDF in the budget.
Après de nombreuses tentatives infructueuses de la Commission, celle-ci a pensé que le 9e FED venant à expiration en 2007, l’élargissement de l’Union étant acquis, le débat sur le cadre financier après 2006 étant lancé, il était opportun de débattre à nouveau de la budgétisation du FED.
