"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mrs Balzani, for the excellent work she has accomplished. Getting to the heart of the matter, there are four points in this own-initiative report that I think are crucial.
The first, in general terms, is the explicit reference to the European Union budget and its redistributive nature, which are the cornerstones of European solidarity. The second, in specific terms, reaffirms the principle that outstanding commitments – which are particularly high in the cohesion sector – ought to be carried out and not, as the Council suggests, simply cut out. The third sets out some doubts – entirely reasonably in my view – as to the effectiveness of an estimate criterion based on performance in the previous year. The fourth urges the Commission to formulate proposals for the creation of new resources and, in particular, new resources must be designed to combat the persistent effects of the crisis with a robust and effective commitment to policies for innovation, research and growth in economic, productive and employment terms across Europe."@en1
