European Council

It would be unrealistic to think that we are going to get agreement on an entire reform package over the next few months. What we can get—and this is all that we have sought—is a process of reform that allows us in the coming financial perspective to reorder budget priorities. We can say that, until we get such agreement, we are not discussing or debating the rebate. That is the right way to lever in change, and our ambition to secure that process of reform is achievable.
