"I voted in favour of the report presented by Mr Garriga Polledo on behalf of the Special committee on the policy challenges and budgetary resources for a sustainable European Union after 2013. In a context where populism is on the increase, the effectiveness and even relevance of EU policies are regularly brought into question. Nonetheless, in the face of current crises, whether financial, economic, social or climatic, we do not need less but rather more Europe. This report therefore proposes finally giving the EU the resources to match its ambitions, by arguing for a substantial increase in the EU budget of a minimum of 5% and a mobilisation of the budgetary resources of the Union for the benefit of the EU 2020 strategy. Thanks to action by the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, the European Parliament also argues in this report for two strong measures: as far as revenue is concerned, an in-depth reform of the own resources system, in particular, through the creation of a tax on financial transactions (Tobin tax); as far as expenditure is concerned, the creation of a category of ‘intermediate regions’ to increase solidarity between the territories of the EU and ensure a fairer distribution of the regional policy’s Structural Funds."@en1
