"On 4 July, Parliament adopted a position on the European Union 2013 budget. I clearly showed, with my vote, my desire to make a strong response appropriate to the crisis facing the continent. I believe that we must put at the heart of our concerns future investment in supporting future growth, a growth which some people have said was not a concern of ours. On 14 March, the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) supported a resolution which referred to this need, and I fully supported it. We call for investment in sectors where there is potential for growth: we must support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as drivers of our economy, and we must introduce a youth policy to provide training for those players who will revitalise Europe in the future. If we want growth, we also have to support major up-and-coming projects such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Parliament, by reintegrating this project into the EU budget, will provide Europe with the strategic energy of the future, while guaranteeing democratic control. I therefore supported this optimistic and reasonable draft budget in order to boost our economy by concrete, smart measures and prepare for the future. It is now up to the Commission and the Council to rally to our position, given that in budgetary matters, Parliament has the last word."@en1
