"It is good news that this year, the three institutions of the European Union came to an agreement regarding the 2012 budget in time. Due to the crisis, there will be only a slight increase in payments, but I consider it important to review this decision over the next year if necessary, and remind the Member States of the promises they made.
It would be unacceptable for the lack of funds to hit hardest those who are in the most dire need. It is the very programmes under the European Social Fund that support the fight against unemployment and social cohesion which are most endangered by the depletion of funds. Governments must therefore be held accountable for adhering strictly to the Member State commitments made in order to make up for the lack of funds. At the same time, Parliament has managed to negotiate an increase in the level of longer-term financial commitments, and EU funds will therefore hopefully contribute to kick-starting the European economy and achieving our strategic goals for the period until 2020.
‘The establishment of an area of freedom, security and justice has been elevated to a matter of Community competence under the Treaty of Lisbon, and requires more funding’, explained Kinga Göncz, Socialist shadow rapporteur for the 2012 budget on the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs.
An appropriate response to the challenges of security and migration can only be given at European level. Parliament was able to negotiate even more support than proposed by the European Commission as regards commitments for purposes serving the security of citizens and a more open Europe."@en1
