"This report is a further expression of the support given by the majority in Parliament to a path of successive budget reductions, as advocated by Europe’s major powers, which are the main beneficiaries of the single market and the current policies and priorities. They say that they want to influence the negotiations on the next financial framework, but on several points – as in the case of cohesion policy – they support the Council’s unacceptable positions. The majority support the EU budget being subordinated to the Europe 2020 strategy (which favours the processes of privatisation, liberalisation and destruction of public services) and the predictable use of Cohesion Fund monies to extend the single market through the ‘Connecting Europe Facility’, by transferring public funds to large transport networks. In the context of the prevailing relationships within the EU, this will accentuate the dependence and subordination of countries such as Portugal on and to the major powers, which will not only find it easier to sell their products, but will also have access to our country’s resources. We therefore advocate the need to increase the EU budget to at least double the current amount, and to reinforce its redistributive function."@en1
