"The compromise on the EU budget agreed on by the majority in the European Parliament and the European Council means that the budget will increase by 1.86% in 2012 (which, in real terms, entails a reduction in the EU budget compared with 2011).
The members of the Danish Socialist People’s Party in the European Parliament believe that the EU should take more initiatives at European level to create growth and jobs than it is doing at present. This requires a larger EU budget than we currently have, as well as a radical redistribution within the EU budget, shifting the focus from the massive agricultural aid and investment in unsustainable energy solutions to green growth and job creation.
However, we are currently in a situation where many of the EU Member States are having to make enormous cuts in their national budgets, and in light of this, the Danish Socialist People’s Party acknowledges the fact that it is unreasonable to ask the Member States to increase their payments to the EU in the present circumstances. On the other hand, we cannot support a budget in which there is no serious demonstration of the will to reprioritise and, what is more, where an increase in support for nuclear power has also been agreed. We have therefore decided to abstain from the vote on the 2012 budget."@en1
