"Mrs Figueiredo, you know our position on budgetary consolidation. It is particularly indispensable for a country like Portugal that is facing certain sovereign-debt problems, but it also needs to be undertaken for the European Union in general. However, in the recommendations that we made in a document that we have just published, we called on the Member States not, where possible, to reduce investment in education or research, and specifically not in the energy sector. Moreover, there are Member States that are doing this with great success: Member States that are undertaking budgetary consolidation exercises but are even increasing funding for research and education.
In relation to countries with greater financial difficulties, the way we play it must involve solidarity and cohesion. That is why I will not tire of advocating economic, social and territorial cohesion at European level. Solidarity is important. Solidarity cannot be an empty word. We must, if you will pardon the phrase, make solidarity operational."@en1
