"Mr President, I welcome the Commissioner and my fellow Members. Basically, the 2012 budget can be considered the little brother of the legislative package on economic governance, because it, too, aims to establish the conditions for a balanced budget and economic growth, and to increase employment and competitiveness though appropriate means of economic and budgetary policy. We need results, we need jobs, we need growth, we need industrial policy – in other words, we need a strong European economy. With an unstable euro, Member States cannot be expected to begin to increase their GDP-proportionate contribution to the EU budget despite the crisis and recession just because we are hoping for an increase in the GDP. However, a solid economic basis must be created in order to enable the European Union that we have envisaged to really serve its citizens. We have identified our goals to achieve this. We must implement the Europe 2020 strategy. Instead of a path to decline, we must pave the path to growth for Europe, a path to industrial and technological revolution, which is the leading innovation area. The 2012 budget should contribute to the achievement of our Europe 2020 strategy. We are now talking about the second year of this 10-year programme. We cannot say that this will only stop later. Therefore, it is not enough to propose constraints or curtail the European Union for European citizens. It is imperative that the 2012 draft budget and the Seventh Framework Programme for Research which must be implemented in 2013 serve this very purpose."@en1
