"This vote is a crucial stage in the discussions on the multiannual financial framework for 2014-2020 and it determines Parliament’s mandate for the negotiations. We need to find a balance between two realities: the Treaty of Lisbon created new EU competences, which require additional resources, but the crisis is preventing any increase in the national contributions that finance the EU budget. It will be difficult to solve this equation if the Member States persist with their double refusal to increase their contributions and approve own resources to take their place. Mr Sarkozy’s France initiated a dynamic that resulted in a Financial Transaction Tax, the revenue from which will go to the EU budget, thereby decreasing the contributions of the countries that apply it, and that is the first positive sign. In these negotiations, Parliament will defend several ‘red lines’: the budget will have to be a catalyst for intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth, it will have to be flexible enough to cope with structural and economic changes, and it will have to support the projects with high European added value. In this power struggle, Parliament must give its consent and has the authority to say yes or no. Therefore, the ball is clearly in the court of the Member States."@en1
