"Madam President, the report by Mr Böge and Mr Kalfin reflects and highlights the priorities decided by Parliament in the report of the Special Committee on Policy Challenges and Budgetary Resources for a Sustainable European Union after 2013 (SURE report). The European Union budget represents an indispensable tool in solving the effects of financial crises. We are discussing here a budget of which 94 % is reinvested in Member States and which needs to be used for creating economic prosperity through investments and creation of new jobs. The austerity measures were necessary, but to be effective they need to be complemented by measures that catalyse the economy. For this reason the budget enlargement is indispensable and freezing ceilings at their 2013 level is not an option. The perception of the Union’s budget and the gridlock created in the new multiannual financial negotiations can only be changed by an in-depth examination of the own resources system. A new system for collecting VAT and the taxes on financial transactions are two innovative directions that must benefit from our unconditional support. Referring to our activities in the European Parliament I believe that the strategy authorised by the contact group is leading us, in the case of a proposal under the threshold proposed by Parliament, to a negative vote. In the event that there is no certainty that a sufficient number of members will vote against the Council’s decision, there will be a delay unfavourable to the European Union. The strength of the European Parliament is in its co-decision procedure. Trust must be extended to all members of this Parliament so as to allow the normal negotiations within the European political files, horizontal files. It is possible that such an approach will change the position of many Member States."@en1
