"Today we will be voting on the European Parliament’s position on the budget of the European Union for the financial year 2013. Even though intensive discussions are taking place regarding next year’s EU budget, we must not forget that despite our differences of opinion, our common goal is the welfare of the Member States and their citizens. For this reason, I would like to draw attention to those positions proposed by the European Parliament that are important, balanced and ensure implementation of the most important EU priorities. First of all, it is very important to ensure the continuation of projects currently financed by the EU. We cannot stop something that the European Union itself encourages based on its priorities. I am glad that next year’s budget focuses on economic growth, competitiveness and youth employment. It is very important that the EU supports long-term investments in research, development and innovation (RDI), and financing the Member States’ recovery is just as much a priority. I understand the Member States’ objections to cost cutting in order to reduce their respective budget deficits, but we should not forget that EU budget funds are targeted towards future investment in our own countries. Economic growth is based on the development of energy, innovation, scientific research and education. Therefore, not only does the continuation of current programmes have to be ensured, but new programmes that have been clearly defined in the European Union’s priorities must also be created and financed."@en1
