"We Swedish Social Democrats chose today to abstain in the final vote on the report on general guidelines for the preparation of the 2013 budget. We believe that it is important for a reasonable investment rate to be maintained, so that Europe remains competitive in the future, too. Now more than ever we need to invest for jobs and growth – in research, development, climate change and training. The EU budget must also be given sufficient resources to be able to finance the commitments that have previously been decided upon. At the same time, however, we would like to emphasise that the EU ought, as far as possible, to have an attitude of restraint and provide these resources by means of redistribution within the existing EU budget. We therefore supported amendments that were moving in that direction, and we welcome the passages stating that the EU should also identify negative priorities. We would prefer to see the agricultural budget reduced in favour of the priorities set out in the Europe 2020 strategy, that is to say, research and development, conversion to green energy, regional growth, and so on."@en1
