"I voted in favour of this resolution on the EU budget for 2012 and approved the joint text agreed by the Conciliation Committee at the negotiations in November. The overall level of payment appropriations in the 2012 budget is set at EUR 129.088 billion, with commitments set at EUR 147.232 billion. Taking into account the ongoing fiscal consolidation efforts in Member States, the Council and the European Parliament have agreed on a reduction in the level of payment appropriations for 2012 as compared to the Commission’s draft budget. However, the Commission will be able to request additional payment appropriations in an amending budget if the appropriations entered in the 2012 budget are insufficient to cover expenditure under subheading 1a (Competitiveness for growth and employment), subheading 1b (Cohesion for growth and employment), Heading 2 (Preservation and management of natural resources), Heading 3 (Citizenship, freedom, security and justice) and Heading 4 (EU as a global player). I agree that the Europe 2020 strategy must be at the centre of the EU budgetary strategy for 2012 because these policies are vital and necessary parts of the EU strategy for economic recovery, and we must therefore ensure that they have adequate investment at both EU and national level. I also believe that the EU budget must be an instrument which helps Member States to pursue economic recovery policies, promoting and supporting national investment which would boost growth and employment."@en1
