"By passing this report on the new Multiannual Financial Framework by 468 to 134 (with 54 abstentions), the Parliament confirms that it is living in a different world from the harsh economic reality of our times. When such tough economic decisions are being made at home, (...) it is unacceptable for the EU to take no action to cut costs and eliminate waste. (...) The Parliament decided to ignore the letter of the British Prime Minister, (...) and the Heads of Government of France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland, that there must be no increase in the EU Budget (...). Indeed, many of us want budget cuts and a reduction in Britain’s excessive contribution. (...). The British public (...) will not accept taxes imposed by the EU and nor would the citizens of the other (...) countries, if they but realised what was going on (...). Informed economic opinion will tell you that lower taxes are the best incentive to economic growth and job creation. This report is intended to provide the financial foundations of the EU superstate which I and my constituents (...) reject. I joined my fellow Conservatives in voting against this report."@en1
