".
I voted against the Haug report, just as I voted in favour of my group’s motion to reject the general budget for 2001.
First: because the budget of the European Union is not commensurate with the huge economic needs of the Community of the 15, especially of the countries and regions lagging behind.
Secondly: because the new items for the reconstruction of Yugoslavia – which we need and which should be more substantial – have been found by slashing items for food relief, agriculture, social spending, etc., rather than by increasing the budget, which is what the Member States of the European Union should have done, given that they perpetrated and aided and abetted the destruction of the former Yugoslavia.
Thirdly: because the budget remains a mechanism for applying a policy which falls short on the social and development side and which has not been reorganised despite constant warnings of the fall in the euro."@en1
