"Mr President, I voted against this report.
Once again, further political integration is cited as a prerequisite for dealing with the economic and social woes of the EU. I would contend that, rather than being the firm foundation or the cornerstone of any future recovery, the desire for political integration is the sinking sand that has led to the EU facing economic collapse. Yet ideology still blinds reality, and while that remains the case, the much-needed recovery will not occur at a satisfactory pace.
The report states that austerity being imposed in Member States should not be replicated in the EU budget. What arrogance! Indeed, the report demands yet more money from Member States to the EU. ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ seems to be the message that emanates from this Parliament so often.
It is time to cut the waste from the EU budget. Target resources effectively to promote growth and, importantly, lead by example."@en1
