"Mr President, judge O. W. Holmes once said these famous words: ‘Cut taxes and spending, keep government poor and so retain your freedom’. I remembered this as I was reading the report by Mr Vaughan, a member of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, on Parliament’s budget for 2013. Although a couple of small steps are being taken towards cuts, it is all too little and too late. Parliament’s budget will rise again, by as much as 2.7%. However, the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) wants an overall reduction of the entire budget. The showcase project, the House of European History, which has cost tens of millions of euros should be scrapped as soon as possible. Mr President, sound governance is really not that difficult. Cut spending, shrink the European government and retain freedom. When is Parliament going do that for our citizens?"@en1
