I welcome the values demonstrated by the draft report before us, which, while rejecting the logic of cuts adopted by the European Council, focuses on a European budget for 2013 which has the capacity to support growth and jobs. In my view, to emerge from the crisis, we certainly need a policy of discipline, but equally we have to put the question of the nature of our expenses in the foreground as we make our choices; otherwise this will turn into indiscriminate cuts which can do nothing but stifle the already tentative signs of economic upturn in Europe. As the rapporteur has pointed out, 2013 is the last year of the current multiannual financial framework, and it is essential to respect the balance between the commitments that we have taken on up until now and the payments that these entail. Having said that, I am concerned about the data presented by the European Commissioner for the Budget, Janusz Lewandowski, on the shortfalls that are having an impact on every item in the European budget – in particular about the cuts to the Erasmus Programme. Although I am well aware that the general trend in politics in relation to the budget for 2013 largely reflects views on the negotiations for the next programming cycle of 2014-2020, I would point out the importance of continuity at a time when we are supporting investment in training programmes for our young people."@en1
