"The adoption of the European Parliament’s position on the EU budget for 2013 repeats the strategy of previous years. The majority in this Parliament simply play the traditional institutional game whereby the initial disagreements ultimately fade way and the three institutions (European Parliament, Commission and Council), together with the dominant political forces, always agree on the basic point: reducing the EU budget. The reasonable concern about the likely shortage of funds to cover debts already contracted in various programmes and the fact that 2013 is the final year of the current multiannual financial framework do not hide the complicity of the majority in this Parliament with regard to the deepening social and national disparities, galloping unemployment and huge increase in poverty in the EU. The majority in this Parliament are happy to make cosmetic changes, with other changes being pure propaganda, while leaving the main orientations and priorities of the EU budget unchanged, which is therefore clearly insufficient given the urgent situation in countries such as Portugal in this period of profound economic and social crisis. The basis for negotiations between Parliament and the Council is well below the existing needs and even below the figure set in the multiannual financial framework (1.15 % of gross national income)."@en1
