". − Mr President, the multiannual financial framework will, quite rightly, remain in place for seven years. However, the information coming to us about the negotiations with the Council is not at all encouraging. It appears that the Council is asking for significant reductions which are out of step with the actual state of the Union and the economic crisis, because the multiannual financial framework can help indirectly. As regards the ‘Global Europe’ arm of the External Action Service, the European Commission has rightly proposed higher funding, and this funding is needed because the Union has to play its international role and respond to unforeseen political or other situations which arise every day. In other words, there has to be the scope and potential for the Union to use all of the available instruments to fund various interventions in relation to the countries concerned, particularly those where democracy is being restored, and to fund the External Action Service itself. Mr President, Parliament ought to give full support to an increase in the multiannual financial framework, exactly as proposed by this House, and ought to insist on it, because if we retain the framework as the Council wants it, this will give an unacceptable message to the citizens of Europe as to how the Council of the European Union would address the substantial problems facing the EU."@en1
