"I congratulate the rapporteur on his work, which I endorsed. Europe must use the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) to provide definite answers to the citizens, who have been suffering from the economic crisis for too long now, and to ensure robust long-term growth. So far, the European Union has fallen short of the expectations and ambitions it should have. We will have to face very complex challenges as well as the economic crisis, demographic decline and energy shortages. The response to these challenges will have to be sought in the Europe 2020 strategy, which should be the policy reference of the next MFF. We must identify a number of key priorities for the next MFF, such as growth and employment, sustainable development, cohesion for growth and employment, citizenship and Global Europe.
The next MFF must therefore be designed in such a way as to ensure flexibility in order to avoid the shortcomings of the current MFF. In fact, it would be a good idea to plan a mid-term review to allow for the possibility of revising the ceilings. Finally, it is crucial to enhance the current system of extra-budgetary instruments for flexibility, simplifying their use and providing them with sufficient envelopes. The next MFF should strike the right balance between stability, medium-term predictability and flexibility, a principle which should remain at its core."@en1
