"I have chosen to abstain in respect of the decision regarding Parliament’s draft budget. The enhancement of the Daphne programme dealing with violence against women is gratifying. I am also pleased that Parliament is rejecting the Commission’s and the Council’s proposal for cuts in financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority. However, I would also like to point out that I think that Parliament is acting irresponsibly by granting the EU system and itself such large sums in the form of programmes and subsidies and aid for bureaucracy, while the Member States are being forced into making brutal cuts in order to meet the requirements of the Stability Pact – in other words, the neoliberal pact that the majority of Parliament wholeheartedly supports.
The main winner is agriculture, particularly the establishment of a dairy fund of EUR 300 million. This decision will be embarrassingly difficult for us MEPs to explain to those struggling people who are demonstrating in one country after the next. Why should they suffer while the EU system’s budget expenditure is completely unaffected by reality?"@en1
