"The draft resolution on the multiannual financial framework 2014-2020 is part of Parliament’s contribution to the November summit on the EU’s long-term budget. It warns EU governments against any attempt to reduce further the level of EU expenditure proposed by the Commission. Members also call for an increase in investment in competitiveness and research, and for the funding available for agricultural and cohesion policy to be maintained, at the very least, at current levels. Other specific proposals include demands for a reform of the EU’s own resources system based on the value added tax which flow directly into the EU budget. Overall, then, the resolution is mainly about a further increase in the EU budget. Such a move must be rejected on principle at a time of austerity. Given that municipalities, regions and countries have no option but to pursue rigorous austerity measures, the EU’s urge to spend more and more money is completely unreasonable. What we need, in many areas, is for competences to be transferred away from the EU and handed back to the Member States. This would dramatically reduce the EU’s demand for funding. EU taxes must also be firmly rejected."@en1
