"Mr President, this weekend, a delegation from the Commission and the IMF went to Dublin to give economic advice. Another European country has yet again had to come up with a new national budget, and for our friends across the Irish Sea, it is an extremely difficult time.
There is, of course, a deep irony in European officials opining on a national budget, when the EU’s own budget is not yet agreed. For many months, my group has warned that with Member States facing such budget pressures at home, it is vital that the EU show restraint in its own spending, ensuring that every penny of taxpayers’ money is well spent. The last vote in the European Parliament did not show such restraint, and it is, of course, a good sign that there is now agreement on the numbers between Parliament and the Council, though I think we could have gone even lower. It is depressing, however, that despite agreeing the numbers, there is still no agreement on the budget.
Our markets are still far from stable; markets are nervous when there is uncertainty, and I would urge Members of this Parliament to put aside political ambitions and get a budget agreed."@en1
