"Mr President, Commissioner and ladies and gentleman who have stayed until this late hour to discuss this amending budget. Above all, it is a miracle that the Commission has been able, alongside Parliament, whose rapporteurs I heartily congratulate, to find these EUR 1.3 billion and, moreover, that these EUR 1.3 billion do not come 50% from revision and 50% from redistribution of heading 1a but rather have benefited from a greater percentage of revision than corresponds to the redeployment, which means that they have been able to twist the Council’s arm requesting new money, fresh funds, for new financial needs, for new financial commitments. That is what Parliament has always called for because if we did not do it this way we would be pursuing a bad budgetary policy. It is true that we are going to struggle to find EUR 360 million in commitment appropriations next year without damaging projects that are already underway in the heading and we are also going to struggle with payment appropriations but, in any event, I think that we are adopting a very positive spirit in our approach to the 2013 budget in this area. I do not understand the criticisms from some political groups which are using the crisis as a justification, as my colleague from the left was saying a moment ago. On the contrary, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project is a flagship EU project that is going to give us energy independence. MEPs are being asked to find it in themselves to look beyond the next five or 10 years, we need to look beyond budgetary requirements. I think it is a very big mistake and I hope, in any event, that the ITER project continues in good health and that in 20, 30, 40 years’ time we have sustainable and clean energy."@en1
