"Let us be clear, Labour’s MEPs believe that the EU budget can be part of the solution to the current economic and unemployment crisis in Britain and the rest of the EU. We believe that a greater focus should be placed on bringing forward key infrastructure projects and making a commitment to invest in innovative sustainable technologies. This is why we voted to secure funding for projects in the UK and voted to protect EU spending in deprived areas. We also called for a single seat for the European Parliament to end further wasteful expenditure. However, we must be realistic about the fact that we cannot increase spending in all areas. We must support targeted spending in areas, which must be offset by making savings in areas with less added value. At the same time Labour MEPs could not vote for a report that called for an end to rebates but refused to make a deep rooted commitment to reform the CAP."@en1
