"In fighting to overcome the financial crisis, the European Union should show solidarity in the way it invests, and the costs of this investment should be borne collectively. These two factors are inextricably linked. The fact that the resolution stresses the investment-oriented nature of the EU budget is extremely important. Despite the fact that the EU budget constitutes barely 2% of all public spending in the Union’s 27 Member States, it translates into significant levels of development within the Union (94% of the money from the EU budget is used for stimulating economic growth) and a stronger position at world level.
I also welcome the fact that Parliament is trying hard to allocate the appropriate resources to pay for cohesion policy – policy which is crucial from the point of view of our country – and infrastructure projects. On the other hand, it is also important that the costs of running the EU are borne collectively. Therefore, it is important that the resolution has emphasised the need for a sustainable budget by reforming the own resources system, ending all ‘rebates’ and exceptions, and increasing the flexibility and transparency of the way money is spent. In view of these aspects of the resolution, I decided to vote for its adoption. I welcome the fact that the European Parliament has united to issue an unequivocal statement on the European Union budget."@en1
