"Mr President, I would like to endorse the analysis made by the President-in-Office of the Council just now: the European Union, the Europe of 27, is a useful Europe, a Europe that works.
From time to time, we hear some people express the wish that some Members of the European Union be allowed to join forces and go further by working more effectively in certain fields.
For now, a useful Europe, the Europe that works, is the Europe of 27. The good news is that in this unprecedented crisis, we have managed to reach an agreement on giving the European Union the budget that it needs for next year.
For the rest, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, let me remind you that the Council adopted the draft budget unanimously – a move that I welcome. Parliament will vote in a few minutes. There will be three consecutive votes: a vote on amending the interinstitutional agreement, a vote on the 2012 budget, and one on draft amending budget No 6/2011.
These three votes are the subject of a single political agreement, and I call on my fellow Members to express their support with a broad majority, which will probably not match the Council’s unanimity, but may come close."@en1
