".
We Swedish Social Democrats have today voted in favour of the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2011. It is a restrained budget, but it also contains important investments in research, initiatives for young people and necessary aid initiatives for Palestine, and it enables the establishment of the EU’s new External Action Service and new authorities for financial supervision.
However, we abstained from voting on both the text and the proposed budget lines relating to new own resources for the EU. We are in favour of a review of the EU’s own resources system and an examination of a tax on financial transactions, but believe that we currently have too little information to be able to take a detailed position on this matter.
Irrespective of the form that a new system for the EU’s revenue might take, we would like to emphasise that it must be budget-neutral and respect the Member States’ competence in the sphere of taxation."@en1
