lpv:spoken text	"UK Conservative MEPs voted against this report. While the Annual Growth Survey is an integral part of EU 2020, which Member States have already signed up to, we believe the majority of this report adds little to help Member States achieve their targets. In 2012, we should focus on Member States’ implementation of EU 2020. We do not consider it productive or useful for the European Parliament to pre-empt Member States’ progress or to make presumptions of failure at this early stage. We believe in respecting the principle of subsidiarity and therefore cannot agree to calls for a European financial transaction tax, or any calls for greater EU funding in areas where Member States have already made cuts – it is not the role of the EU to intervene where some Member States have failed. We firmly support the report’s call for the promotion of SMEs, to improve the functioning of the Single Market and for the reduction of red tape. Here, the EU can add real value to the current work of Member States. It is crucial that we find pragmatic solutions at European level, such as those to create jobs, increase growth and ensure Europe regains its competitiveness."@en1
