"Mr President, when it comes to these guidelines for the 2013 budget, we have, unfortunately, gone no further than a few generalities about ‘responsibility and restraint in budgetary matters’. In that regard, we have scored a big fat zero. We should have come up with specific proposals which would stop all the European institutions throwing taxpayers’ money out of the window. A EUR 50 million investment and EUR 11 million annual operating costs for a House of European History, on top of the EUR 21 million we have already spent on our Parliamentarium, our visitor centre? That is indefensible. Travel expenses of up to EUR 26 000 for each participating Member of Parliament? That is indefensible. A high-end film prize that no one is the slightest bit interested in, but which costs EUR 570 000 annually? That is indefensible. Subsidies for European political parties which will total EUR 30 million this year alone? That is indefensible. I could cite another 100 such examples. That is a scandal."@en1
