"Parliament voted in favour of the draft European Union budget for 2012, and I voted in favour of this text. I am especially delighted that the European Parliament has once again voted massively in favour of maintaining the European Food Aid Programme, which the Council continues to block. We must find a political solution to this issue which is of the utmost urgency for the most vulnerable amongst us. I also voted in favour of granting an additional EUR 250 million to fund specific measures to provide assistance to fruit and vegetable producers affected by the health crisis in the summer. I also voted in favour of the amendments to the budget that aimed to increase the sums allocated to the European Refugee Fund, the European Asylum Support Office and to Frontex, so as to support the common immigration and asylum policy that the European Union has introduced and is currently building up and strengthening. Finally, in the current circumstances of budgetary difficulties, the European Parliament has also advocated a reduction in its operating budget, by voting for budgetary amendments, and we also supported them."@en1
