"Mr President, firstly, I would like to say that I voted in favour of this report. It contains a lot of good things, and we could say that it is a step in the right direction, although it is perhaps unsatisfactory in some respects.
In any case, I think it is now important to recognise that we in Europe are facing challenging times economically, and, during such times, we must have the courage to make additional cuts, though not do so for its own sake. We have to make the priority in the budget one that would enable growth. This means that if we want to achieve recovery and growth in the European economy, we must invest in research, development and innovation, and we must invest in education. In other words, these are the basis and foundation on which to build new growth in Europe.
It is very important in this respect to realise that we need more investment in these sectors. We can cut bureaucracy and such unnecessary extras, but we need investment in education, innovation and research and development for the European economy to recover and embark on a path to growth."@en1
