lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I wish to thank Mr Pittella and Mr Dombrovskis, rapporteurs for the budget, for their excellent budget draft, as well as Mr Lewandowski, the Chairman of the Committee on Budgets, for his conciliatory role as leader of the negotiations. The draft budget before us aims at improving employment in Europe. Certain multiannual programmes are to be started, on Parliament’s initiative, as a result. This particularly applies to the research framework programme and training programmes. In this way Parliament is showing the direction in which the work of the EU should be developed. This budget is the last under the current financial perspective. The new financial framework should bolster European entrepreneurship and therefore employment. Research and development, and training and the promotion of cohesion will have key roles to play in this. Unfortunately, however, the best laid plans can run into trouble. The proposal at Luxembourg back in June drastically reduced the appropriations intended to improve competitiveness by a hefty EUR 60 billion. Although Prime Minister Tony Blair promised improvements, Britain’s proposal is even worse. There has been no increase in appropriations for research and development whatsoever. Another EUR 12 billion has been cut from the Structural Funds in addition to the reduction of EUR 29 billion made at Luxembourg. Rural development, which is an important element in agricultural reform, is threatened with total collapse. At Luxembourg, EUR 14 billion was cut from the framework and now Britain is cutting a further EUR eight billion. The budget should aim at the future and endorse action which no single Member State can afford on its own. This budget shows the way."@en1
