"I am voting for this resolution because I believe the European Union budget 2014-2020 is still demonstrating its rigour. The overall amount proposed for the next seven years is EUR 1.025 trillion, or 1.05% of the EU’s gross national income (GNI), in commitment appropriations, and EUR 972.2 billion, 1% of the EU’s GNI, in appropriations. It is important to stress that the budget is geared towards realising the Europe 2020 strategy, and that around 94% of financial appropriations are geared towards supporting growth and jobs, in particular, the EUR 336 billion spent on cohesion policy and the EUR 80 billion spent on research and innovation. The EUR 50 billion Connecting Europe Facility will be extremely important in financing cross-border projects in the energy, transport and information technology sectors, while the EUR 19 billion for the Erasmus for All proposal demonstrates that the European Union is concerned about the future for new generations. Finally, I should like to re-emphasise how important it is that the new own resources – VAT and financial transaction tax – be approved, which will enable a 40% reduction in the Member States’ contributions to the European budget by 2020."@en1
