We should recall very clearly as we go through this discussion that we have the right under Article 272 of the existing Treaty – not necessarily under the Constitutional Treaty but the existing Treaty – to be able to continue the budget process, and we shall therefore be very careful to see that parliamentary rights are properly safeguarded in the whole process.
Nous devons rappeler très clairement, alors que nous avançons dans ce débat, que nous avons le droit, conformément à l’article 272 du Traité existant - pas nécessairement du Traité constitutionnel, mais du Traité existant -, de pouvoir continuer le processus budgétaire.
