lpv:translated text	"Is it possible to have more for less? No, it is not. We cannot have more Europe with a reduced multiannual financial framework. It is natural, at times of financial and economic crisis, for public spending to become more problematic. However, it is worth remembering that great politicians are measured by their ability to look further ahead than the next elections. The greatness of the current Member State leaders will therefore be measured by their ability or otherwise to reach an acceptable compromise. Net contributors should explain to their electorate why it is worthwhile investing in cohesion policy. The internal market should not be and is not the European Union’s only successful endeavour. You cannot have the icing without the rest of the cake. The failure to reach a compromise will hurt everybody, including the net contributors. All those threatening to use their veto should consider whether the lack of agreement does not, in fact, harm the interests and expectations of their own voters. I believe that the values on which the European Union was founded – solidarity, dignity and freedom – will prove stronger than the short-term interests of certain political parties. The strength of the European project has always lain in its emphasis on values other than the purely material. While funding is essential in order to increase cohesion, even worse than a reduced budget would be the sense that we had lost the solidarity that is envied the world over."@en1
