".
We endorse the rejection of the interinstitutional agreement tabled by our parliamentary group and voted for by 120 Members of Parliament because, among other reasons, we oppose:
a mindset that gradually turns every defeat into a mystifying ‘victory’ on the grounds that things could always be worse.
the blackmail perpetrated by the economically most highly developed EU Member States, the so-called ‘wealthy’ countries, which have imposed a relative reduction of the Community budget; this at a time when the EU has grown to include a further ten countries with an average level of economic development that is below the Community average and when preparations are under way for two more countries to join.
this is a process that increasingly favours supranational level decision-making on monetary, budgetary, economic and social policy – pandering to the interests of the economically most highly developed countries and the large economic and financial groups, which are concerned less and less with the rights, needs and aspirations of the workers and of the people of the various EU Member States – and that, at the same time, entirely predictably, reduces the financial resources that could help minimise the consequences of (unacceptable) capitalist competition between countries with very different levels of economic development."@en1
