"We feel that the EU budget must be given adequate resources to be able to fund measures that have already been adopted. At the same time, we would like to point out that the EU must, in the first place, take a restrictive stance and make these resources available through re-allocations within the existing budget. We feel that the agriculture budget should be reduced for the benefit of areas that are currently suffering from payment problems, for example the Social Fund, research programme and Erasmus.
We do not feel that the EU should act as an insurance company in the event of any crises in the agriculture sector. We do, however, welcome the large reductions in EU export aid.
Finally, we consider it important to reduce the EU’s administrative expenditure and make it more efficient, so we welcome the fact that the budgets for all EU institutions other than the European External Action Service are staying below the inflation rate. In this context, we also welcome the savings made in MEPs’ travel expenses and the reduction in the allowance for the House of European History as well as the requirement for a single seat of Parliament. Work must continue, however, on additional savings."@en1
