GRUND (DR). — (DE) Mr President, it is a pity that the debate on the Council's draft budget for 1990 has largely ignored the need to save money — especially in regard to noncompulsory expenditure — in view of the changing economic outlook in the Member States and the social problems within the Community.
Endnu en gang har Budgetudvalget forkastet disse ændringsforslag med undtagelse af de, der vedrører medansvarsafgiften for mælkeprodukter, hvis afskaffelse fra april 1990 den har accepteret.
