"The destiny of the euro is currently being played out in Brussels, and with it the destiny of Europe as we know it, such is the seriousness of the crisis that we are going through. Member States must, at all cost, be ready to lift three gauntlets: they must show solidarity and come to the assistance of Member States on the verge of bankruptcy, they must stabilise their public finances and they must invest in growth. They cannot achieve this on their own: the only realistic solution to this crisis is a strengthened European Union. As we prepare to vote on this budget for 2012, we face a complex situation.
At a time when public money is scarce and when some Member States are literally in desperate straits, how can Europe, which depends on national contributions, carry out its mission effectively? Today we are voting on a realistic and courageous budget, and making savings where we can. Parliament proposes to make savings of EUR 74 million in its 2012 budget over what were its estimated needs at the beginning of the year. This budget will allow the European Union to focus on its key missions: support for competitiveness, investment in the future and growth in Europe."@en1
