"The report highlights the political importance of the European Union’s budget in terms of overcoming the economic crisis, by ensuring the necessary level of financial investment throughout the EU territory. The negotiations on the multiannual financial framework (MFF) are taking place in a difficult context, in which only the European concepts of solidarity and mutual assistance can help the Member States to tackle, collectively and in concerted fashion, the structural challenges ravaging Europe: loss of competitiveness, and rising unemployment and poverty. However, the Commission’s proposals would freeze the budget for the MFF and are therefore inadequate. Any attempt by the Council to further reduce this level must therefore be rejected, with the Council being urged by the report to clearly and publicly indicate which EU projects and priorities must be abandoned. I voted in favour of this interim report, as we all depend on the leverage effect of the EU budget to launch and catalyse actions with clear added value in order to boost growth and jobs, which the Member States, on their own, are not capable of achieving."@en1
