"The crisis in which the European Union is mired and which is jeopardising its stability makes it advisable that the EU budget take into account the difficulties being experienced and resist expansionist tendencies, which would be misunderstood by public opinion in the Member States. I believe the EU general budget for the financial year 2012 has sought to take this concern into account without succumbing to easy populism. It should be noted, for example, that the budget set out for Parliament has been reduced by EUR 74 million, in spite of the additional costs that the institution has been facing. I hope the Union will be able to exercise its competences and will be able to do more, and do it better, with less, despite the budget cuts demanded by the severity of the current situation. If it does this, and I hope it will, it will set a good example to the Member States, in particular those currently experiencing the greatest difficulties. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate my colleague, Mr Fernandes, on his good work."@en1
