"The European Parliament is voting on the Union’s annual budget for 2012 and, like every year, is siding with the European Commission against the Member States, which have the common sense to want to limit expenditure. While the issue of own resources (a European tax) has been temporarily put on the back burner in this period of economic and budgetary crisis, the EU is still asking Europeans for EUR 147 billion, a large proportion of which is simply wasted on unnecessary projects and handouts. Thus, EUR 500 million are going to the External Action Service, and almost EUR 5 billion to the more than 30 000 civil servants of the European Commission alone, hundreds of millions of euros of pre-accession assistance are being given to various countries and a similar amount is being spent on institutional communication, for which read ‘propaganda’. We firmly reject this disproportionate budget and call on France, a large net contributor, to defend French interests effectively."@en1
