"Mr President, we are all talking about the crisis today. Yes, it is a crisis. Member States are obliged to make fundamental cuts in national budgets and Union budgets. We have an acute lack of funds. I consider it wholly inappropriate that the Union budget has been increased by more than 2%, as the Member States proposed. The proposal we have on the table here today for a 4.9% increase makes me think that its authors inhabit a different economic reality. Yes, I am in favour of a budget that supports employment. I am in favour of a budget that supports growth. This can be achieved, however, through a change in philosophy, not by a flat rate increase in all budget chapters, but by reviewing the case for currently funded projects and simply cutting the funding for the non-viable ones. We will then focus the resulting savings on areas such as the internal market, the functioning of which is key to the economic growth and competitiveness of the entire Union."@en1
