"The vital need to restore growth in Europe to emerge once and for all from the successive crises we have experienced meant that my fellow Members and I gave complete priority to our responsibilities for the 2013 budget. We felt that it was important to eliminate the Council’s cuts to the Commission’s budget. Consequently, my colleagues and I voted to restore the EUR 1.9 billion cut by the Council in June. These funds will be used for priority sectors for growth, such as the economy, research, entrepreneurship and employment. An amending budget was also presented to ensure the ‘survival’ of the Erasmus Mundus programme. This programme allows our young people to study right across Europe, enabling them to discover different cultures and languages, and it makes them aware of their European citizenship. As far as agriculture is concerned, most of the budget cuts proposed were also removed, and I am pleased about that. Moreover, we approved the reduction of EUR 8.9 million in the EP’s administrative expenditure. The aim is thus to do more with less money from now on."@en1
