"Mr President, I cannot vote for any increase in the Parliament’s budget, and I believe that many people in the United Kingdom will be watching the proceedings here in utter amazement. In national economies across Europe, we have austerity measures and budget cuts. These are the order of the day and this is what our people have to face.
The euro is in crisis, and I want the House to note that even though my constituency does not use the euro, we share a land border with the Republic of Ireland. The Republic represents a huge export market for us, so this crisis hurts our people as well. Beside all this crisis, we have a proposed 2.9% increase, limited from the 6% that Parliament already wanted, but on a budget that the Court of Auditors has not passed for many years.
Most worryingly of all, we have a promise from the Commission to bring forward proposals by June 2011 for an EU tax. Is it any wonder that Euroscepticism is growing?"@en1
