I voted in favour because of the commitment that Parliament continues to show to an ambitious budget that will enable the targets set by the Europe 2020 strategy to be reached. The result of today’s vote lays down the blueprint for negotiations with the Council. Once again, we have shown our belief that it is crucial to increase investments in strategic sectors for Europe to emerge stronger from the crisis. Key investments in fields such as innovation or research, which can provide high added value to the European economy, are needed to successfully reach the goals set out in the Europe 2020 strategy. Where the climate of austerity affects these fields, the way out of the crisis will be slow and counterproductive.
We must fund the Europe 2020 strategy to promote growth and employment in Europe. We Socialists are therefore asking Member States to push for an ambitious agreement. The European budget is a means of supporting all countries and should increase investment in public policies that guarantee growth and social cohesion. Without an ambitious budget, Europe will fail to meet its responsibilities and it will continue to lose all credibility with its citizens."@en1
