lpv:translated text	"I abstained from voting on the political resolution relating to the 2012 budget. At a time of unprecedented crisis for the European Union and its Member States, I cannot accept the ‘lax’ signal sent by the two main political groups, the Christian Democrats and the Socialists, who backed by 431 votes the Commission’s proposal to increase the European budget by 4% compared with 2011, that is to say by EUR 147.8 billion. Clearly, this is a political mistake and a message that our fellow citizens cannot and do not want to hear, since in their daily lives, they are bearing the full brunt of the austerity plans implemented here and there. Admittedly, the European budget accounts for only 2% of total public expenditure within the Union, and the European Parliament has been able to save EUR 25 million by freezing the automatic indexing on the cost of living of MEP allowances and by placing 15% of the funds earmarked for travel in reserve, but evidently we need to come back to this vote at second reading. Now more than ever, the European Union must show responsibility and restraint in its budget, at a time when the Member States are continuing their efforts towards budget consolidation."@en1
