"The attraction of the European Union arises out of its special socio-economic operating model. Over the last decade, we have witnessed two significant enlargements, which have benefited the entire EU, which has become an important world player with a market of almost 500 million. After the outbreak of the economic and financial crisis, however, the Union and its Member States found themselves in an unprecedented situation. The decline in economic growth, increasing national deficits and debt in many Member States became for the EU and its Member States a real test of solidarity and commitment to the basic principles for which the Union stands. In the context of adoption of the budget for 2013 and the financial review for 2014-2020, it therefore annoys me that some countries are abandoning European solidarity among Member States and trying to push through a reduction in the volume of resources for the cohesion policy, which helps to balance inequalities within the EU. Yes, a more effective and prudent enlargement policy might be a valuable strategic instrument for the economic development of the EU and the region, but I am convinced that every effort, including financial resources, must be primarily directed towards the consolidation of economic and financial stability within the EU’s boundaries."@en1
