"I voted in favour of this important report. It is important that the European Union can reach agreement on urgent matters relating to the budget in an emergency and in the name of solidarity.
The Solidarity Fund has proven to be an important and sufficiently rapid form of aid that enables the EU to offer specific help to a Member State or region to repair the economic damage caused by major natural disasters. Italy has requested aid from the Fund for the severe damage caused by the earthquake in May 2012.
Instead, the quarrelsome budget negotiations have tarnished the public image of the Union more than ever. It is strange that Parliament is regarded more and more as some sort of necessary evil. It is only listened to reluctantly and under duress. This is not a sustainable operating model from the perspective of European democracy. The multiannual financial framework is not a show of strength between the institutions. A resolute, logical and credible economic policy is needed now. A balanced budget policy is needed, as well as sufficient active stimulation. Europe and Europeans need jobs, investment and growth now."@en1
