"The 2010 EU budget has just been adopted. With this budget of EUR 2.4 billion, we will be able to finance the second and final phase of the European Economic Recovery Plan, and that is good news. Unfortunately, the negotiations on the financing of a European programme to promote micro-credit – a particularly useful and necessary instrument for reviving growth – are being held up at the Council.
Similarly, the Council’s rejection of Parliament’s amendment proposing to increase the aid granted to people most in need, at a time of unprecedented economic and social crisis, is highly regrettable, when 2010 has been declared the ‘European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion’.
On the other hand, the European Council’s announcement, last Friday, of the willingness of the EU and its Member States to contribute to the financing and prompt implementation of EUR 2.4 billion per year from 2010 to 2012 to help developing countries combat climate change is along the right lines. However, if the Council wants to be consistent and responsible, it must accept the urgent need for a mid-term review of the 2007-2013 financial framework. Without it, this news would unfortunately be nothing other than a publicity stunt."@en1
