The Dutch members of the Independence and Democracy Group have voted against the European Budget for the year 2005, as amended by the European Parliament. Despite our favourable assessment of certain forms of European policy – in the areas of the environment, agriculture and the internal market, for example – we are of the opinion that, in the Budget amended by Parliament, far too much money has been allocated to matters which, according to the subsidiarity principle, should not fall within the European Union’s remit. Areas that spring to mind are employment policy, foreign and defence policy, tourism, education, culture and sport. In addition, under the heading of ‘information policy’, a great deal of money has been set aside for promotional activities for a so-called European Constitution, to which we are avowedly opposed.
Finally, we do not agree with the practice of borrowing as much as possible, to the very limit, instead of endeavouring to take an economical, restrained and responsible approach to taxpayers’ money."@en1
