lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too would like to acknowledge the rapporteur’s efforts towards our achieving significant consolidation in next year’s budget for this House. The envisaged increase of 1.9% is lower than the rate of inflation and that is positive, but the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left believes this should be considered an absolute ceiling and that there is a need to continue lowering this ceiling until final approval of the figures. Moreover, we will table proposals to that end, in any case ensuring full respect for the rights of the workers and the right to multilingualism. Where do our concerns lie? Firstly, we await the report by the President of this House on reducing Members’ travel expenses. There is EUR 12 million at stake. Secondly, we consider it insufficient to freeze the same Members’ various types of indirect salary. There is more than EUR 10 million at stake. Thirdly, we do not agree with the amount envisaged for the headings associated with the media. It is possible to do better, more imaginatively, but with less money. Fourthly, we do not agree with the above-inflation increase envisaged for the European parties and foundations. I am at ease with this because I run a European party, but there is one thing that I do not wish to do, which is to awaken the demons of aggressive euroscepticism. Finally, we need to debate the issue of a single seat with an open mind, which means discussing both Brussels and Strasbourg, whilst simultaneously discussing alternatives for whichever is passed over."@en1
