lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Member States make cuts so the Council’s logic is that cuts must be made to the EU budget and to the multiannual financial framework as well. Public opinion should know that the EU budget is always balanced without deficit. Member States make cuts in order to prevent or curtail deficit. Secondly, this budget is, all but for six percent of administrative costs, a growth budget. Funds for agriculture, cohesion, research and innovation and Erasmus, are destined to be returned to the Member States with added value. It is hypocritical to talk about growth and, at the same time, target these guaranteed growth funds. Those who at least speak of more Europe must see this antithesis. This is the first message for the Council. The second message has to do with the image of Europe. All the disappointment of the European citizens because of the euro crisis cannot withstand an impasse on the budget in the multiannual financial framework. All governments that believe in Europe must realise that neither can the friends of cohesion get as much aid as they would have wished, nor can the net contributors insist on the cuts they initially planned. As always, consensus must prevail. Of course, Parliament reserves this right, provided for in the Treaties, if governments have abandoned any consideration of the common good fenced behind respective national interests. As for the government of the United Kingdom, the question is this. Will they opt out with grace for themselves or take all of us down with them?"@en1
