"Madam President, yesterday Mr Lewandowski spoke about the 2013 budget; today we are discussing the budgets for the years after that. Fortunately, the British Prime Minister has already threatened to use his veto on the ‘billions budget’ and I advise our Dutch Premier, Mr Rutte, to do the same. Why?
To teach the Commission that it cannot threaten national parliaments with impunity. To remind the Commission that it is those same national parliaments that make the decisions on the European purse and not the Euro-clique here. To call for an end, finally, to all kinds of committees and agencies that do not contribute anything useful to national objectives. Above all, to let the Commission know that it must not imagine that European taxes will ever happen.
The Commission had better listen. Fortunately the Netherlands as a Member State can exercise its veto, just like the United Kingdom. As far as the Freedom Party (PVV) is concerned, the sooner it does this, the better."@en1
