lpv:translated text	". Mr President, firstly, I would like to thank our excellent rapporteur for her sterling work. I, too, am pleased that the Europe 2020 strategy forms the basis for this work. The decisions that we are to take with regard to the future cannot wait until we have the new Multiannual Financial Framework in place; we really need to get started on this future-oriented work now, and in this regard 2012 and 2013 will be absolutely crucial. At the same time, we should probably remind ourselves that producing the 2011 budget was quite a difficult process. We could not agree with the European Council on a common approach. In light of this, it is unfortunately the case that we have to complain about the considerable increase that the Commission is proposing with regard to the 2012 budget. In the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe we believe that this increase is too big. Therefore, we have also tabled an amendment that seeks to root the budget more firmly in reality, something that I hope the other groups will be able to support when we vote later today. Something else that we would like to highlight is the fact that we have a rather strange fixed culture whereby every year we allocate too much to certain areas despite the fact that we know that these funds will be sent back unused at the end of the year or in fact the year after. Is there nothing we can do about this over-allocation for a number of activities within the Union? We believe that it is absolutely crucial that we understand the economic realities in Europe. This unfortunately means that next year’s budget cannot be quite as large as the Commission thinks it ought to be. At the same time, I believe that, in turn, the Council needs to realise that we cannot manage with so-called zero growth either, but that we need some new resources for the priorities that we have agreed on. A happy medium needs to be found here, and, in our group at least, we believe that it can only be found if everyone takes responsibility."@en1
