Budget 2011 - Commission
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The Treaty of Lisbon will give the European Parliament the power to fix, as a last resort, the level and the content of the community budget, which represents about €130 billion. Our priority will be to finance the new competences given to the Union by the Treaty of Lisbon, notably in the field of energy, external policies and sustainable development. This will only be possible if we find new own resources for the EU, which do not oblige us to tap into national budgets to finance EU policies anymore. Alain Lamassoure MEP
