"I abstained. As my colleague, Estelle Grelier, so rightly said, this 2012 budget is, in fact, a Council budget, with just a ‘bit of soul’ added by the European Parliament. We are not fooled by the Council’s ploy: the Member States’ main preoccupation is to impose austerity, but they will not openly admit to the impact that this choice will have on EU policies on the ground. In order to cope with the recession that European citizens are enduring, while States are having trouble funding themselves and austerity policies abound, we need an EU budget that will meet this challenge at the very least, and allow us to implement policies for regeneration. Employment and growth in Europe are at stake."@en1
