"Mr President, Minister Creighton told us that Europe has to show it can get on with business, but what business does the Minister want us to get on with? It is the business of cuts, cuts and more cuts that will damage people’s lives and drive economies further into recession.
Look at the MFF budget proposal. We are in a recession in the eurozone and we have a proposal for the first multiannual cuts budget yet: not cuts to MEPs’ salaries, not cuts to bloated expenses, not cuts to military expenditure, but cuts to programmes that could provide jobs and growth, cuts to cohesion funds of EUR 30 billion, cuts to funding for developing broadband services and, most scandalously, a 70% cut to the Globalisation Adjustment Fund.
Not content with the capitalist crisis and austerity throwing a generation of workers on the scrapheap, the European Council wants to effectively scrap a programme that has offered them some assistance. It is a budget proposal not to create growth but to impose austerity policies with the introduction of so-called macroeconomic conditionality, tying cohesion funds to the implementation of Commission diktats. It should be rejected by this Parliament."@en1
