"I believe that with today’s vote, the European Parliament has sent a strong and clear signal to the Member States asking to freeze the European Union budget for 2014-2020. This substantial reduction in resources is not, in fact, a valid choice for those who believe in a truly competitive Europe, and the countries pursuing it should clearly specify which priority projects will have to be abandoned in order to allow for these cuts.
The bad habit of making political commitments without having the necessary financial resources must be broken because it undermines the planning and credibility of the whole European system. Reducing long-term budgets could compromise both the increase in expenditure on research and innovation and investment in infrastructure, foreign policy and enlargement. Furthermore, to reduce them now would have serious consequences for the future of all the Member States."@en1
