"The European Parliament has taken a decisive stance against reducing the 2014–2020 European Union budget since inadequate levels of funding could jeopardise, among other things, the EU’s new strategy for growth, the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy and economic growth. I would like to stress that not only must the overall budget remain intact, but within it, so must the budget for regional policy for the period 2014–2020. Cohesion policy plays a vital role in achieving the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy, as well as being essential if we are to overcome the economic crisis. It is a key pillar of the ‘intelligent growth’ which the EU considers so important, a strategic tool for investment and competitiveness, and one of the main embodiments of European solidarity. For these reasons, funding for cohesion policy needs to remain at least at the level of the 2007–2013 period. In view of this I think it is unacceptable that the Commission’s proposal would mean that Hungary is the only EU Member State where per capita GDP in the period 2014–2020 will consistently be less than 75 % of the EU average, while its cohesion support could fall by nearly 30 % relative to the current budgetary period. I consider the low growth ceilings set and the growth projections used to determine support levels unfair and counter to the spirit of the EU Treaties because they hit countries with the lowest growth levels hardest and hence keep them trailing behind in the long term."@en1
