"Do not count on us to praise the hollow European Economic Recovery Plan, which, for the most part, will be self-financed by each of the Member States (‘European solidarity’ at its best …) and which does not call into question the neoliberal policies that are at the root of the worsening working and living conditions of the overwhelming majority of the population.
As a result, not surprisingly, the majority of Parliament rejected our proposals, which:
condemned the fact that, at a time when the socio-economic crisis in the EU is worsening, the Community budget for 2009 is ‘the lowest ever’;
insisted on increasing the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund;
underlined that ‘additional advanced payments’ under these Funds would result in a reduction in Community financing over the next few years;
criticised the under-implementation of these Funds, particularly in the context of worsening socio-economic conditions in the EU;
demanded that these Funds be regarded as a spending target and proposed increasing the rate of Community cofinancing and abolishing the N+2 and N+3 rules with regard to these Funds;
insisted on these Funds being effectively used to promote real convergence, thus abandoning their constant subordination to the neoliberal objectives of the ‘Lisbon Strategy’;
insisted on fighting company relocations."@en1
