Lad mig derfor sige, at det er nu, i forbindelse med denne etape, at vi skal tale om at forøge og diversificere Unionens ressourcer, om det så betyder, at vi må ændre traktaterne, for at give Unionen mulighed for at optage de lån og hæve den EU-skat, som den økonomiske og politiske krise, vi befinder os i, nødvendiggør.
I would therefore like to say that it is now time, at the stage we have now reached, to speak about increasing and diversifying the Union’s resources, even if that means amending the Treaties to allow the Union to take out the loans and raise the European tax that our current economic and political crisis demands.
