"Since the Treaty of Lisbon came into force in December 2009, the European Parliament has enjoyed increased powers. Parliament and the Council of the European Union now fully share budgetary powers. With the European Union’s 2012 budget, we have concentrated on the need to help Europe weather the current crisis. Thus my fellow Members and I have decided to raise the share of the budget allocated to implementing the Europe 2020 strategy, for sustainable, intelligent and inclusive growth. Parliament is also learning lessons from past crises, such as the E-coli crisis. We also voted for exceptional financial assistance of EUR 250 million for farmers affected by this crisis in the summer. We also spoke in favour of maintaining the European Food Aid Scheme at its 2011 level. It is currently blocked in the Council of Ministers. In the face of all these challenges and at a time of budgetary austerity, we have also shown ourselves to be responsible: we are allocating 93% of the draft budget to future spending and investment, and only 7% to running costs. It is now up to the Council to give its view on this matter."@en1
