"Mr President, I voted for freezing the EU budget. In fact, I am in favour of the EU making savings in its budget.
The Member States of the EU are living on credit. They accrue debt in their everyday expenditure and in their EU membership contributions also. In addition, the Member States are having to make major cuts to their national budgets.
In such a situation, the EU has to set an example. It must also be innovative and find areas where the EU itself can save money. It cannot order its Member States to make savings. Those Member States that do not save enough are penalised, but the EU itself is not prepared to look for areas where savings can be made. We must be able to find areas in the EU budget where savings can be made in Parliament, the Commission and the Council, and the EU should use the money for growth and employment."@en1
