"A positive solution to the amending budget for 2012 is long overdue. Some Member States are not conducting themselves in a manner which is conducive to a solution. Ultimately, this is about the implementation of programmes that have already been approved and must now be funded. They include programmes to create jobs and growth and to promote education and research; in other words, they are projects that invest in our young people, such as Erasmus. It undermines Europe’s credibility if students have to worry whether the funding that has been promised will actually materialise. We need a clear commitment here, for this is one of the EU’s most successful programme. It has enabled almost three million young people to study abroad over the last 25 years and we must ensure that it continues. A swift agreement on the amending budget is also essential because otherwise, it will not be possible to conduct meaningful negotiations on the 2013 budget. I fail to comprehend the position of some Member States, especially given that much more than 90 % of EU funding is channelled back to the Member States anyway, where it exerts substantial leverage. A more pragmatic and less ideological approach to budget issues is therefore urgently needed."@en1
