lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I, like my previous colleague, also voted against the budget. It is interesting how we often talk about European common values and solidarity with the citizens. Yet, at a time when many communities and families are struggling with the current economic situation, struggling to pay the bills, some of them losing their jobs, many even taking pay cuts, I think it is outrageous that we are voting to increase a budget which takes no account of the current economic situation. We need sound finances, we need to show that we understand the concerns of our electorate and we need to be prudent with taxpayers’ money. Only in that way can we generate the growth which is so badly needed to help citizens right across countries of the European Union. That is why I voted against this budget. I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."@en1
