"The European Parliament has highlighted that it wants next year’s budget to be focused on growth, job creation, innovation and research. At the same time, the European legislative is showing that it wants to continue to export democracy to its neighbours.
The European Parliament is proposing a 2012 budget of EUR 133 billion, marking a 5.2% increase on this year. We are now entering the 21-day conciliation period and, if everything goes according to plan, we could have the final vote on the budget in December.
The thinking behind the EU budget is to increase the finances available for those areas providing growth: research and development. The Cohesion Fund and the Structural Funds are categories of expenditure which have seen the biggest rises. Parliament is pushing for an increase in the budgets allocated to competitiveness, growth and employment. All the areas with budget increases are ‘responsible’ for cranking up the engines of the European economy.
Parliament has been given a say in the EU budget by the Treaty of Lisbon and will naturally use this opportunity. We have a say on European finances and hope that the views expressed will be listened to during the trialogue with the Commission and Council."@en1
