"Madam President, as we look ahead to 2012, I would like to offer the following advice to the Commission. The first piece of advice is to stop asking for more money. You have plenty of money. At a time of austerity, when national governments are cutting budgets, it is absurd that you are asking for more. Mr Barroso, you have more than one thousand officials who currently earn more than the British Prime Minister. We have two seats for the Parliament. There is plenty of waste; use your resources more wisely.
The second piece of advice is: account for the money you are given. Our accounts have not been signed off for sixteen years, so aim to have the Court of Auditors approve them in 2012. Seventeenth time lucky, perhaps.
Thirdly, concentrate on what you do best. Complete the Single Market and strive for free trade around the world. Free markets will do more to improve the conditions of our citizens and those in developing nations than any number of European regulations, initiatives and agencies could ever achieve."@en1
