"Madam President, last weekend, I went to see a new film
. In that film, among the cast are two Australian possums who make a memorable comment. When asked why they get into so much trouble, they answer: ‘Do you want to know our secret? Because we are really, really stupid’.
This comment is very relevant in the context of this debate on the 2013 budget mandate. Anyone who reads the report by Mr La Via on the desired increase in the budget of 6.8% and the objectives as a result of which we are to throw money away all over again will think: who comes up with these ideas? The Commission and Parliament.
What will increase in cost in 2013? Just about everything. It might be better to ask what will not increase. Our citizens who want to know why Europe has ended up with such serious problems would best get an answer from the two possums called the Commission and Parliament: because we are really, really stupid."@en1
