"The European Union’s multiannual budget is an investment budget for growth. It is not a consumption budget. Investment in the attainment of the European Union’s common goals and the fulfilment of its obligations provides considerable added value to Europe’s nations as a whole. However, the budget must be sufficient to attain these goals. Particular emphasis should be placed on investment in cohesion policy, agriculture, research and education, which are vital cornerstones for the EU’s growth. At the moment it is clear that the European Council’s approach is precluding growth. If we cannot ensure or even plan to ensure that the ambitious goals of the Europe 2020 strategy will be achieved through the EU multiannual budget, both the European Council and the Presidency ought to be honest and say as much. Let us avoid the mistakes of the Lisbon Strategy, where people by and large persisted in speaking about it, while already knowing that its goals would not be achieved. One of the EU’s values is solidarity. I hope that the promises that have been made to the Baltic States will materialise in concrete actions. Actions speak louder than words. To conclude: the only way in which we will be able to emerge from the crisis in time is to invest in a targeted way and with sufficient resources in our joint growth."@en1
