"We are convinced that the EU is needed to tackle common challenges such as climate change, organised crime and humane treatment of asylum seekers in Europe. We also believe that a strong EU and proper functioning of the internal market are needed in order for Europe’s economy to gather momentum again. We therefore voted for increased investment in measures that will contribute to the Europe 2020 strategy, such as research and entrepreneurship, and against the same budget for the EU’s agriculture policy. We feel that the EU’s aims and objectives should be met within the framework of the Commission’s proposal, through clear priorities and strategic reductions, not through an increased budget. Therefore, for example, we voted against the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund and in favour of an end to Parliament’s travelling circus between Brussels and Strasbourg. We would also like to have a more lucid, transparent EU budget. We feel that politics is about choosing, and that choosing something also involves having to prioritise. In these times of economic crisis in the EU’s Member States, demanding an increased EU budget would be irresponsible."@en1
