lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, could I, too, seek to back the budget as agreed today. I welcome the deal which has been found between the Council and Parliament for next year’s budget which now reflects the reality of tough budgetary decisions being taken at national level right across Europe. The European Union has the responsibility to share the burden of the economic crisis and take part in the joint effort towards budget austerity and responsible spending. For this reason, I support the 2% overall increase decided today, which is way below the original budget bid of 5% by the Commission and 5% by Parliament. It was the right thing to do. It is the only realistic way forward with the EU annual budget; I welcome my colleagues’ support in Parliament and I congratulate the colleagues who negotiated this deal last week. It is a good decision and one which reflects well on this Parliament."@en1
