"The European Union’s 2013 budget represents the closure of the current seven-year financial framework. It is this year that Member State cohesion programmes will be at full swing, and it is now that the largest sums will need to be disbursed. At the same time, the 2013 EU budget will also reflect the individual institutions’ ideas regarding the future as, in the absence of a consensus, this year will serve as the basis for the next period. The European Parliament sees the European budget as a means of recovery from the crisis and an engine of growth and job creation: a reflection of the intention to create a strong Europe guided by common policies and possessing sufficient funds. Some Member States are interested in a smaller EU budget and, focusing on short-term goals, would rather reduce their contributions. This carries an enormous risk, as it diminishes faith in European solidarity and in the EU, and leads citizens to turn away from the EU institutions. In the long term, this could jeopardise the very existence of the EU. In the medium term, the success of the Europe 2020 programme could also become questionable if we fail to provide sufficient financial resources for its implementation. We must not tarry, but show citizens that they live in a European Union which uses its funds in a sensible and appropriate manner to achieve common goals and strengthen the European idea."@en1
