"The draft Community budget for 2010 is much too low given that we are in the midst of an economic and social crisis, with a dramatic effect on employment and the living conditions of many people. The fact that it even falls about EUR 6 billion short of what was agreed in the multiannual financial framework for 2010 is unacceptable. In view of the serious social reality in many Member States, particularly the so-called ‘cohesion countries’ like Portugal, we think that the budget should be revised and increased as a matter of urgency, and we have put forward proposals to that effect, including:
Greater financial support for structural and cohesion policies;
The re-evaluation of the N+2 and N+3 rules which, to date, have meant a loss of around EUR 106 million for Portugal within the previous financial framework;
An increase in the rate of Community cofinancing in the structural and cohesion funds.
It is unfortunate that other proposals with a significant social and environmental impact were not accepted during the budget discussions, including, for example:
A development programme for Portuguese industry;
A programme for supporting the textile and clothing industry;
A programme for supporting small-scale, artisanal coastal fisheries;
An increase in funding for the LIFE+ programme."@en1
