".
I voted in favour of the resolution on the Council position on the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2013 – all sections. I voted against reducing the EU’s resources for 2013 by an overall total of EUR 1 155 million (-0.8 %) in commitment appropriations (CA) and EUR 5 228 million (-3.8 %) in payment appropriations (CP) as compared to the Commission’s draft budget.
I think that the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) is one of the main contributions to the Europe 2020 strategy and is an essential instrument to facilitate access to financing, especially for SMEs’ innovative initiatives. Therefore, I voted to increase the commitment credits and payments for the CIP Entrepreneurship and Innovation and Intelligent Energy Europe programmes.
I am against the Council cutting the payments (-EUR 1.6 billion or -3.3 % as compared to the draft budget) affecting the regional competitiveness and employment objective (-12.9 %), the European territorial cooperation objective (-18.7 %) and the Cohesion Fund (-4.7 %) because, if these reductions are applied, they will hinder the correct implementation of projects in the last year of the financial programme, with dramatic consequences, especially for those Member States that are already facing social, economic and financial difficulties."@en1
