".
Today we Swedish Social Democrats voted on the 2008 EU budget.
We think that the adopted proposal was a good compromise and, even though we lost out in some respects, we fully support the proposal.
We voted in favour of reducing export subsidies in agriculture, but think that it is unreasonable to vote in favour of a complete and immediate withdrawal of aid.
We also voted against continued subsidies for tobacco producers and in favour of limiting the number of Parliament sessions in Strasbourg.
As regards Daphne (protection of children, women and young people against violence), we voted in favour of increasing the appropriation up to the level of the Commission’s proposal. However, we had been prepared to vote in favour of further funding, but were given no opportunity to do so because the amendment never went to vote.
In the resolution from Mr Virrankoski (), we Swedish Social Democrats voted against an amendment which, among other things, called on the Commission to ensure that no farmers would receive more than EUR 50 000 per year in direct aid from the EU. This is a discussion which is ongoing, so we agree with the spirit of the proposal, but do not consider it appropriate to set either an exact sum or specific conditions right now."@en1
