"Mr President, I do not think it is very acceptable for the European Union to ask for a 7 % increase when my constituents in the south-east of England are having to tighten their belts and to live within their means. What prompted me to get up on my feet was the rather clever speech made by the President of the Commission who appeared to blame the national governments and the national parliaments for the current mess that we are in and not the European Union. What he forgot to mention is that when the eurozone was set up, it was the Commission that was to monitor expenditure in the Member States and the 3 % limit, the deficit limit, has been breached right throughout the European Union and the Commission did absolutely nothing about it. The 3 % and the 60 % ratios which were installed when the eurozone was created were ignored. That was the Commission’s omission."@en1
