"Mr President, can I first of all make it very clear that the ALDE Group agrees with the cuts to the overall size of the MFF budget. It demonstrates to our citizens that we have the ability to live within our means in these very difficult times. However, there are areas where we do want to see change. We need to see greater flexibility to spend a smaller budget more effectively and we need a guarantee of a review in 2016, when hopefully economic times are improving. There is no national government that is setting a seven-year austerity budget, and this institution should be not be forced into doing so.
Surely, though, our most important task is to find more money to invest in jobs and growth. Every Member in this debate has said that must be the priority. Let us back that call for more investment by agreeing that the EURÂ 4 billion increase for our administration should instead be used to invest in creating jobs and opportunity for our young people. That would show that this Parliament is willing to put its money where its mouth is."@en1
