"Mr President, I have a short comment in anticipation of our trilogue and in response to two specific questions, from Mr Capoulas Santos and Ms Grelier, defending the food scheme for ‘most deprived persons’.
They know what has happened: a Court of Justice ruling requiring that food covered by the scheme should come only from ‘stocks’ has resulted in a reduction of volume from EUR 500 million to EUR 113 million. Therefore we need to find a solution, and probably a new legal basis for the scheme.
My second brief comment is in response to Mr Bütikofer, who claims that we have not done enough to reflect energy priorities in the next budget.
It has to be understood that in the current year – as a result of delay on investment projects, especially Nabucco and the other projects with Azerbaijan, and also of Azerbaijan relaxing after winning the Eurovision song contest – we have huge delays. Unfortunately, this also affects programming for the next period in relation to major energy interconnectors.
To all those who would like to cut the budget, my message is that among our legal obligations to make payments in 2012, we are required to make payments to Greece and to some other countries that are in trouble. They need austerity but they also need investment, and our legal obligations are about investment – about structural funding for these countries for the next year."@en1
