"We are moving ever closer to adopting a budget for the period 2014-2020. Unfortunately, the disagreements in this regard are growing ever stronger. The majority of Member States, that is the net contributors, would, as a minimum, like to freeze the budget amount and, if possible, even reduce it. I am firmly opposed to such an action. The European Union budget for 2014-2020 should be well in excess of EUR 1 billion. Let us remember that this budget is intended to cover new investments in infrastructure, stimulate production and create new jobs. It must be a pro-investment budget and not serve to restrict the European Union. For Member States such as Poland, it has added significance in terms of enabling them to catch up where, unfortunately, they still lag behind. Without a generous budget benefiting the less developed Member States, we will never eradicate the differences in living standards among EU residents."@en1
