"I cannot support the report by Mr Garriga Polledo. The reason for this is that I am fundamentally against Member States’ contributions being replaced with direct EU funding, for which read an EU tax. After all, the Union should be at the service of Member States and that must be visible in the financing arrangements. In terms of content, I have problems with the EU 2020 strategy being used as a guideline for the Multiannual Financial Framework. The objectives of the strategy concern social and employment policies, which fall within the competence of individual Member States. The failed Lisbon strategy shows where we will end up if we base our strategy on matters over which the EU has no say. The report also seeks to reduce the amount of arrears by increasing payments. If projects are not being implemented smoothly, then the sensible thing to do would be to enter into fewer new contractual commitments.
In brief, the report shows no trace of understanding of prudent budgetary management, in light of the enormous economic problems facing European economies. ‘Cut your coat according to your cloth’ is a better suggestion than this undesirable call for more and new resources. In this way, we are repeating, at a European level, the mistakes which several countries have made in recent years."@en1
