"Whilst there were some positive references in this report in relation to tackling climate change and social exclusion, the negative provisions failed to mitigate the concerns I had with this report and I had no option but to abstain on this report.
It is very apparent that we are in very uncertain economic times and it does not appear to be getting any better. Of course Brexit has, undoubtedly, created waves of uncertainty in Ireland and across Europe. However, we are stuck in a financial straitjacket which offers no flexibility, and what is more worrying is that there are new trends towards financial instruments without democratic accountability.
The MFF Report references the challenges ahead, but going by the current silence of the Commission, I am neither hopeful nor confident that those challenges will be addressed. It’s high time that the Commission and Council took a new direction and began listening to the people. They need to stop servicing banks and begin putting real investment into our people."@en1
