"The Progress Programme was established to support the objectives of the European Union in employment, social affairs and equal opportunities, as set out in the Social Agenda, as well as to contribute to the achievement of the Lisbon Growth and Jobs Strategy. I agree with the Microfinance Facility for Employment and Social Inclusion, which has already been approved by Parliament. However, it is not possible to agree with the reduction in the financial envelope of the Progress programme. For a start, new programmes should not be funded at the expense of programmes that have already been put into place. It should be noted that, from a budgetary point of view, the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the Progress programme in its third year of implementation has been very positive. The average implementation rate over the last two and a half years goes beyond 80% in commitments and payments. The current situation has led the Committee on Budgets, parting the context of the budget procedure 2010, to declare itself clearly in favour of financing the new financial facility by creating two new related budget lines to this effect. For these reasons, I voted in favour of the motion for a resolution, which means a rejection of the Commission proposal to transfer EUR 100 million from Progress to microfinance."@en1
