We do not want to do this in a way that Member States can decide how to do their accounts creatively, but by making choices that are clearly intended for Europe and by setting out a strategy at European level so that it is possible, for example, to depreciate investments made in the long term, as is customary in industry.
Vi håber, at en række af den slags sager alligevel kan optages i disse betænkninger, og at denne diskussion vil blive fortsat på plenarmødet i marts, når vi reviderer Lissabon-strategien og forbereder forårstopmødet.
