lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I welcome this agreement on next year’s budget. Since there is an economic recession, it is fitting that we accept this agreement because we cannot seek too large an increase for next year, and probably for the next couple of years. I would like to focus on two things: sea and sport. Regarding the sea, I welcome very much the new budget line for maritime actions and particularly the proposals made by Commissioner Damanaki just a few days ago regarding the Atlantic. I think the potential for developing new jobs and growth by exploiting the resources of the sea is immense, especially in terms of renewable energy. In the Atlantic in particular, we probably have the best resources in terms of offshore wind, tidal and wave power and we need to exploit them. Undersea mining could also solve many of our difficulties regarding raw materials and, of course, offshore aquaculture is a tremendous opportunity to offset the destocking of the fish resources in the sea and guarantee healthy fish from our own waters, rather than importing them from dubious sources. Regarding sport – and my colleague Mr Rübig mentioned many points which I agree with – one thing I would like to see in particular is an Erasmus for sport because I think there is huge potential there. We do not give enough value to the potential of sport in solving economic difficulties, and particularly health difficulties. Every day I attend hearings here with people coming looking for more and more money to do research to find cures for various health problems. The cure is very simple: prevention. That can start by having people lead active lives, healthy lives, starting at a young age."@en1
