lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the debate on the European Union’s financial perspective raises questions about the European project, its scope and its ambition. This report is laudable because it seeks to mobilise the Union’s budgetary resources in order to comply with the Europe 2020 strategy. This puts it at odds with the narrow vision of most Member States. Whereas Member States see Europe in terms of their financial contribution, which they want to see reduced, and the financial returns, which they want to see increased, this report argues in favour of strong and integrated Community policies, be they long-established policies or new competences under the Treaty of Lisbon. Consequently, this own-initiative report by Parliament should form the basis for future discussions, even if, in my view, it does err on the side of consensus and caution. It is true that a 5% increase in the European budget would be better than the Member States’ budgetary plans for 2012. However, the crux of the matter – and probably the stumbling block – will be agreeing a figure that tallies with the policies described in the report. We are aware of the downsides of austerity policies: how they affect employment and have left growing numbers of citizens despairing. We have a responsibility to finance countercyclical policies, not least through a strong cohesion policy, Mr Pieper, which promotes public investment and employment in all European regions. I would like to stress the importance of creating an intermediate regions category to ensure that the allocation of Structural Funds accurately reflects economic and social realities in the regions. Let me conclude by saying that we need to impose a tax on financial speculation, which would increase our citizens’ support for a well-financed Europe."@en1
