"The negotiations on the European Union budget for 2014–2020 are entering a key phase. In a few days, the Cypriot Presidency will present a new proposal for a seven-year budget that includes precise figures. In spite of the fact that it has been systematically shrinking for several years now, the EU budget continues to serve as a symbol of solidarity with the poorest EU Member States, as it provides support for the structural changes they are undergoing and for their efforts to boost investment, benefiting growth and employment throughout the European Union.
Above all, the EU budget for 2014-2020 must include adequate resources for the continuing elimination of disparities in terms of development, research and development and assistance for competitiveness and innovation. The amounts allocated to cohesion policy, a key tool for investment and reducing macroeconomic differences between the regions and Member States of the EU, must, therefore, at least be maintained at their current level.
It is also vital to continue the EU programmes aimed at young people and those which, very successfully, support culture, education and the media. In the interests of integration, it is important to maintain at least the same level of financing for the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund and the existing funding for measures to reduce CO
emissions and tackle climate change."@en1
