"The EU budget for 2013 is specific in at least three areas. First of all, 2013 is the last year of the current multiannual financial framework and it is now extremely important to achieve a balance between the commitments made and the resulting payments. Otherwise, there may be a threat of legal consequences for the Commission in the event that justifiable claims for payments are not settled. Second, we have here the Europe 2020 strategy, the objectives of which cannot be achieved without financial support for growth, competitiveness and employment, especially with respect to small and medium-sized enterprises and young people. Moreover, implementation of this strategy should not forget regional competitiveness and employment in relation to local environmental conditions. Third, the reaction to the current eurozone crisis should be more Europe, not less Europe. The report reflects the above mentioned points, in other words the EU budget for 2013 should allocate more resources to investment and development priorities, not to administration. The report also warns of the pitfall of the horizontal cuts proposed by the Council. The EP prefers effective management. It can generally be stated that the report submitted by Giovanni La Via and Derek Vaughan reflects a consensus with respect to the EU budget and I therefore voted in favour of it."@en1
