"The agreement on the 2012 European Union budget provides for a 1.86% increase in payments in relation to 2011, representing a reduction in real terms. Despite Parliament’s more ambitious proposal, the final agreement confirms the Council’s proposal, which limits total payments to 0.98% of the Member States’ gross domestic product.
At this extremely serious point in the life of the European Union through which we are living, when divergence within the euro area and a lack of growth and jobs are threatening to destroy the single currency itself, this European budget should send a message of confidence to the public, at least in symbolic terms, and constitute a stimulus – even a limited one – for the relaunch of the economy, compensating for the multitude of recessive policies imposed by various Member States. There was a need for a strategic strengthening to promote territorial and social cohesion within the Union, thereby relaunching public confidence in the European project. I am voting against because of the lack of this message. Despite this, I would express my appreciation of the work undertaken by my fellow Members on this difficult negotiation: although they did not manage to reverse the aforementioned key issue, they have substantially improved the initial proposal."@en1
