"With regard to the European Union’s so-called 5 billion package for the European economic recovery plan, it is useful to recall the resolution adopted by this Parliament on the mid-term review of the 2007-2013 financial framework. That resolution states: that the own-resources ceiling represents 1.24% of EU GNI in payments and that this has effectively been below 1%; that every year significant margins are left below the ceiling set up by the multiannual financial framework, with over EUR 29 billion in payments in the last three years; and that huge margins exist between the multiannual financial framework ceiling and the ceiling of the EU own resources, with over EUR 176 billion from 2010 to 2013. In view of this, we must ask ourselves: why is it that, faced with the worsening economic situation, we are not at least using the funds provided in the multiannual financial framework? Why is the European Union opting to deduct EUR 2 billion from the agriculture margin, when thousands of farmers are facing ever greater difficulties? Do farmers have a greater need for support to deal with increasing costs of production and falling prices to the producer, or for broadband Internet? To ensure that this adjustment is neutral, from which other budget headings will almost EUR 2 billion be deducted? Will this amount be deducted from cohesion? How will they go about distributing the nearly EUR 4 billion for projects in the area of energy and the nearly EUR 1 billion for – apparently – the promotion of broadband in rural areas? How will this unfair exchange be applied? Where, finally, is the highly proclaimed solidarity across the European Union? Or will the mountain, in the end, once again turn out to be a molehill?"@en1
