"I voted for the report on the mandate for the trialogue on the 2012 Draft Budget. Some people are saying that in circumstances where there are large budget deficits and high levels of debt, Member States should contribute as little as possible to the EU budget. I believe that this is a mistake. 2012 is the penultimate year in the current financial period. It is an important year from a financial perspective for EU programmes. At times of crisis, investment is needed in jobs and development. Investment accounts for 95% of the European Union budget. The funds are distributed for EU projects and policies in all Member States, admittedly, in varying proportions. All Member States benefit directly or indirectly. The proposed budget increase is an absolute necessity. I cannot see why anyone should object to this increase. There are policies which are absolutely essential, approved by Member States and, therefore, they need to be financed so that they can be implemented."@en1
