lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this morning, Mr Daul came running to speak here in the plenary on the need for a bigger EU budget, but he was running so fast that he was running out of breath and had to stop speaking. This reflects very well the debate on the multiannual budget. The EU budget is fixed at about 1% of EU GDP; the Commission and Parliament say, ‘that is not enough, we want more money’. Yet the EU is unable to spend the money available; billions of euro in regional cohesion funds remain unspent. Some money has to be returned to Member States. So why do you need more money if you cannot spend the money you have? But then, here in this Parliament we have a couple of ‘Pavlovs’: Mr Schulz, Mr Daul, Mr Verhofstadt, all absent now – they have run away instead of speaking here to focus the budget on quality rather than quantity, for example, by limiting regional and cohesion funds to the poorer Member States, saving 30% of those funds, and investing that money in innovation and future oriented policies. But I am sure that the EU Pavlovs will yet again run into the brick wall of the EU Council later this year."@en1
