As the rapporteurs say, the cuts proposed by the Council and Commission – around EUR 1.59 billion (-1.08%) in commitments and EUR 3.65 billion (-2.75%) in payments – from an overall budget, which was already extremely meagre in itself, are regrettable. However, this accusing rhetoric directed at the Council by a Parliament that then ends up backing a budget not much different – in total and in choices – from the one presented to it is, unfortunately, becoming a habit. This is a budget that is lower than previous years in real and percentage terms, which is regrettable and, in the current context of profound crisis, illustrates the true meaning of Europe’s much-vaunted solidarity. This, moreover, in a year in which – in budgetary terms too – the EU is facing enlargement to a new Member State.
This is clearly being imposed by the interests of the EU’s most powerful countries at the expense of the countries with weaker economies, passing on to these last the economic and social costs of the policies they have promoted. It is alarming that funding in areas like repression of immigration and foreign intervention has increased, whilst available funding for the subcategory ‘Cohesion for growth and employment’ has been slashed."@en1
