"Mr President, Europe does not, unfortunately, have many projects in which it is unrivalled at a global level. GMES is a unique example of such a project. It is therefore odd that we do not have the funds in the EU’s financial framework after 2013 for a project that we claim is one of the basic components of the Europe 2020 strategy. Even with the crisis, we should be capable of setting priorities both for the EU, and in a way that should be understood by Member States in particular. The sum needed for the GMES system to operate is, moreover, remarkably small compared to the vast amounts we are drawing on to fix Europe’s bottomless pits of debt. Pumping hundreds of billions of euro into these pits is mainly about protecting the profits of the banks. The EU is meanwhile often seen as a collection of hidebound bureaucrats. We must show that this is not the case with GMES, and that we are capable of programmes that better the lives of EU inhabitants, as well as the excellence we long for."@en1
