"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, firstly, many thanks to our two fellow Members from the Committee on Budgets – Mr Lewandowski and, of course, Mrs Haug – who have overseen our work passionately and effectively.
Firstly, I should like, very briefly, in the time I have available to me, to say to you that I am delighted overall with a number of guidelines that have been preserved within the framework of a budget that is very constrained, even tight, as some of our fellow Members have said. Fundamental guidelines relating to growth, employment and climate change have been preserved, and we even have an increase in the total level of payments on these priorities, at any rate.
Moving on, secondly, I am delighted with regard to a more specific point: the fact that we have managed, through the Committee on Budget’s proposal, to make lines concerning research and innovation and all that which concerns the Structural Funds more understandable, thereby providing our fellow citizens with practical answers.
In this time of crisis, the scale and effects of which are stressful and will unfortunately be long-lasting, I should like to highlight the importance of Europe’s coordinated response. The latter is not only more obvious now than it has ever been before, but it is also crucial when it comes to providing support for investment in major infrastructure projects, in order to stimulate our European economy."@en1
