"With the adoption of the budget guidelines, we have shown our spending priorities for 2013, seeking in this way to make our weight felt as colegislators with the Council, and affirm the need for this Parliament. As was also stated in the wording of the guidelines, what we are asking the governments and, hence, the Council, is to refrain from making artificial cuts in the Union’s 2013 budget, which would otherwise jeopardise settlement of real needs and suspended payments. We wish to avoid a repetition of the situation we experienced last December, when the European Commission was unable to honour the contractual commitments that had been made. The topics on which the 2013 budget focuses will be youth employment and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Without denying the importance of these two subjects, I should nevertheless like to make it clear how the issue of agriculture remains key to the development of Europe’s spending policy, where, for a long time now, operators in this sector have been asking for simplification and transparency of the paying agencies, as well as for clarity, above all, as regards the penalties applicable to those who fail to honour the commitments undertaken in the common agricultural policy (CAP). A budget that is at least equal to or greater than last year’s is therefore essential for keeping alive a sector that is so essential for the whole of the EU."@en1
