"Madam President, regrettably, I felt compelled to vote against the Berès report today. The report does not adequately address the crux of the matter – namely, the fact that the individual Member States of the EU have accumulated excessive national debts in combination with our lack of competitiveness. That is why we are struggling in Europe. It is not simply a matter of creating more liquidity – we need to regain our competitiveness. Paragraph 99 concerning an EU budget corresponding to 5-10% of the Union’s GDP is a bad and irresponsible proposal that is completely out of step with what the majority of citizens in the Member States actually want. It is a theoretical proposal with no basis in reality. We are in this House in order to represent the populations out there in the Member States, and the idea of transferring up to 10% of the Member States’ GDP is pie in the sky and has no place in this Parliament."@en1
