"Mr President, President of the Council, Commissioner, I am addressing my request first and foremost to the Council representatives. I am not a member of the Committee on Budgets, but I am a member of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, the Committee on Regional Development and the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development – which are, in principle, the areas responsible for most of the legislative acts, i.e. for most of the redistribution of European funding.
What I ask is for people to speak in plain terms. I know that, of course, the Council feels primarily responsible to its voters in the Member States. But I also know that the Council, together with Parliament and the Commission, has committed itself to implement a whole range of European programmes in the context of EU policy. And we can achieve that objective, that added value for Europe, only if adequate budget appropriations are made available.
May I ask you, therefore, with a view to creating a common Europe, a Europe of solidarity and a Europe of progress, not to economise in areas where we could promote precisely that – namely employment, social cohesion and social integration. With that in mind, I would like to see a European budget that takes account of the consolidation efforts of the individual national budgets."@en1
