"When determining the framework of the next budget, the first question to ask is whether we want more or less Europe. In my opinion, Parliament has already taken a stand in this question. We have already stated that we need more Europe by accepting the ambitious goals of the Europe 2020 strategy. Now we have to declare loud and clear that these objectives can only be achieved if we assign sufficient resources to them. In a period when many Member States are suffering from the ‘Mediterranean dilemma’, whereby the country needs fiscal expansion in order to stimulate growth, but it cannot be done because never-ending austerity measures would be inevitable due to the country’s indebtedness, we cannot respond by decreasing or approving the current EU budget that is fundamentally aimed at development. We cannot, because it would mean depriving regions lagging behind of their only chance to put their economies on a path to growth."@en1
