"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, after 15 hours of constructive negotiations, the 2012 budget has been finalised with an agreed level of payment appropriations of EUR 129.08 billion, corresponding to the amount agreed by the Council in its July position. In contrast, the amount of commitment appropriations stands at EUR 147.23 billion, which is almost EUR 1 billion more than the sum in the Council’s position.
When it became clear, during the negotiations, that there would be no room to negotiate on payment appropriations, given that the Member States’ delegations had illustrated the difficulties facing national budgets, the European Parliament’s approach was to focus on the level of commitments, with particular reference to competitiveness and external relations. I therefore support this 2012 budget; considering the difficult economic and financial period we are in, it has still found a far-reaching solution under the heading of competitiveness, for example, by regarding innovation and investment as being conducive to a future European recovery.
I should like to conclude by pointing out that, for the first time since the introduction of the new procedure under the Treaty of Lisbon, an agreement has been reached by the conciliation deadline."@en1
