The total cost of all the administrative and operating costs of all the European institutions represents only 5.59% of the grand total of the European Union budget. It should also be stressed that we have surpassed expectations for the Council, the Commission and Parliament, as shown by the margin of EUR 500 million in Heading 5. This was managed in spite of new responsibilities, new Members of this House and the establishment of new institutions, such as the European External Action Service. The overall increase in the 2012 budget for all of the institutions is about 1%, far below inflation, meaning there is negative growth in their budgets in real terms. With regard to Parliament’s budget, we have cut more than EUR 74 million between the start of negotiations with the Bureau of the European Parliament and now. If we are to be thorough and make a comparison with 2011, we have to remove expenditure arising from Croatia’s accession and the entry of the 18 new Members, which results in one of the lowest increases in the history of this Parliament: only 0.8%. It should be noted that we have saved EUR 21 million on interpretation and translation alone. We have also approved a 5% cut in all types of travel."@en1
