"The purpose of this report is the guidelines for the 2013 budget procedure as regards the following European Union institutions: the European Parliament, the Council, the Court of Justice, the Court of Auditors, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions, the European Ombudsman, the European Data Protection Supervisor and the European External Action Service.
At this time of financial crisis, it is essential that public institutions adopt principles of sound financial management when both implementing and drafting their budgets. The European Parliament should be an example of rigour and savings without, however, jeopardising excellence in lawmaking. We all agree that savings need to be made. I therefore support the proposal for creating a working group that will, alongside the administrative bureau, identify the lines in surplus and those where more savings could be made. The priority should be to channel funds into policies that help the Member States to emerge from the crisis. I voted for this report, since I believe the guidelines adopted will ensure a budget of great rigour and efficiency for next year, without jeopardising the availability of the funds required for the smooth running of the EU institutions."@en1
