lpv:translated text	"We Swedish Social Democrats voted in favour of the report on the priorities for the 2012 budget for the European Parliament and other institutions. The report adopts a critical and questioning stance towards a number of budgetary proposals involving high costs and recommends that Parliament’s budget for next year increase by no more than the rate of inflation; in other words, it should not change at all in real terms compared with 2011. We would also like to emphasise that we agree with the report’s extremely hesitant and critical position with regard to the project to establish a House of European History. At a time when there is severe pressure on national budgets, we consider it inappropriate to initiate such a project, which will probably be very expensive. However, we would like to point out that we would have preferred an even more restrictive approach to be taken to Parliament’s budget for 2012 that also included proposals for savings and redistributions to finance new requirements. The Commission advocates a rate of increase of a maximum of 1% for the EU institutions’ administrative budgets for next year – an initiative that we believe should be supported. Compared with inflation, an increase of a maximum of 1% would, in practice, entail a reduction in the overall size of Parliament’s budget."@en1
