"Madam President, given the current difficult financial, economic and social situation the European Union faces, Parliament’s budget resources should be managed with rigour and efficiency. It is proposed that the European Parliament’s overall budget in 2012 should increase by 2.3%, which is below the current rate of inflation. This really is positive, but in future Parliament must make greater savings and tighten management and monitoring procedures. I agree with the rapporteur’s proposal for a long-term review of the European Parliament’s budget in order to reduce costs. The services of Parliament must increase their efforts to modernise and rationalise administration, reducing their dependence on external services, and applying strict management of human resources. I believe that these measures would enable European Union money to be used more efficiently, thus saving taxpayers’ money and reducing Parliament’s current level of expenditure."@en1
