"This debate concerned the latest proposal presented by the President of the Council, Mr Van Rompuy, which will be used in the Council negotiations on 22 and 23 November. The proposal involves a budget cut of EUR 81 billion (EUR 74.5 billion in the multiannual financial framework and EUR 6.2 billion in other budget lines). I am wholly against the proposal presented by the President of the Council as it advocates a reduction of approximately EUR 30 billion in cohesion policy funds and another EUR 25 billion in agriculture and rural development funds. These are two European policies which significantly benefit Portugal and the Portuguese people, and I cannot therefore agree to a drastic reduction in their financial envelope. As I have already done in the European Parliament’s Committee on Regional Development and in various other forums on this issue, I continue to firmly reject the 48 % reduction in the specific additional allocation for the outermost and sparsely populated regions. Only with an increased budget can the European Union invest in growth and jobs, thus helping to overcome the severe economic and crisis that we are experiencing."@en1
