"Mr President, it is my responsibility to work with colleagues on proposals regarding the environment and public health. We would urge that, in the current crisis, public health and the environment are not forgotten in the multiannual financial framework, which unfortunately seems to be the case. We therefore request increased financing for the proposals intended to strengthen public health in Europe. We request a 25 % increase in the amounts intended for climate policy, which is so important. We request that we go beyond the European Commission’s proposal with regard to the preservation of nature and conservation of biodiversity in the LIFE programme. We also request financing for civil protection. We are making these requests because the multiannual financial framework is the test that will determine whether or not the European institutions have learnt from the crisis. It is not only the amount that is in question, but also the policy orientation of this amount. What we need to know is whether the future will be austerity or solidarity, sanctions or social progress. That is the question. We are currently experiencing exceptional times and, in exceptional times, you cannot continue with the same policies as before. We cannot continue in the same vein and we cannot allow a Europe to develop that will threaten the very European project."@en1
