".
As we have pointed out, although it contains aspects that improve the proposal of the Council and the Commission, in the end the draft general budget for 2008, approved at first reading by the EP, does not comply with what was agreed for 2008 in the Multiannual Financial Framework 2007-2013.
At the same time as restrictions are imposed on the EU budget, its priorities are defined as competition policy (an example of which is the gradual distortion of structural policy, placing it at the service of the Lisbon Strategy), and the communitisation of ‘internal security and immigration control’ and the EU’s external policy, which promotes intervention and the militarisation of international relations.
Hence our vote against.
The approval of proposals we tabled should, however, be noted, such as:
increase in sums for the Structural Funds, POSEI (Azores and Madeira) and PROGRESS (equality between men and women);
support for cooperation among farmers’ associations and other rural activities, and small-scale and family farming;
an increase of EUR 2 million for the programme to compensate for the additional costs incurred in the marketing of certain fishery products from the outermost regions, which means an increase of EUR 570 000 for the Autonomous Regions of Madeira and the Azores."@en1
