"It is universally accepted that, during this prolonged economic crisis, the EU institutions should lead by example in implementing austerity and rigour, starting by freezing their administrative budgets. This should be done in a manner that is both effective and tangible, so as to be credible as regards the sacrifices that we are asking our fellow citizens to make day after day. Making savings, strengthening interinstitutional cooperation, sharing best practices between institutions and modernising policies on human resources, technology and environmental policy can, and must, become strategic objectives for the European Union institutions. This vote allows us to stress once again and with greater clout the fact that we must counter the need for drastic cuts in unproductive spending by multiplying our efforts to free up and make as many more resources available as possible so that we can get the global economy back on track as soon as possible and return hope to those who now easily succumb to the sirens of populist, anti-European sentiment. Citizens’ opinions of the institutions that govern them depend on the institutions’ ability to come across as sensitive to their needs and to the current difficulties, and, most importantly, the ability to put together suitable policies in order to ensure that we recover from this crisis as soon as possible."@en1
