"Mr President, I would like to congratulate Mr Garriga Polledo on having drafted such an excellent report on the Multiannual Financial Framework. The report gained very strong support within the Special committee on the policy challenges and budgetary resources for a sustainable European Union after 2013. I hope that the report will serve as a key foundation for negotiations on the new multiannual European Union budget, which will commence shortly.
I am very pleased that MEPs have decided to support the amendment I tabled regarding the strengthening of policies on youth. At a time when young Europeans are some of the main victims of the economic crisis, we should support all initiatives aimed at improving the situation of young people and, in particular, those aimed at improving access to education and their professional situation. Programmes such as ‘Youth in Action’ and ‘Lifelong Learning’, which have a very low cost per beneficiary and are extremely effective, should therefore be maintained as a separate element of future multiannual financial frameworks, and these programmes also deserve significantly more funding.
At the same time, I would like to commend the proposal to maintain a high level of funding for cohesion policy. Cohesion policy not only plays a key role in achieving the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy; its primary task is to strengthen European integration and solidarity by reducing the social, economic and territorial differences that still unfortunately exist within the European Union."@en1
