"The ceiling for heading 5 of the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for the EU budget in 2013 is EUR 9 181 million at current prices. I firmly believe that the goal of any budget negotiation should be to achieve maximum efficiency. In accordance with the agreement reached by the Bureau and the Committee on Budgets at the conciliation meeting of 13 March 2012, the overall level of the draft estimates for 2013 is set at EUR 1 759 391 671. At the same time, strict budgetary control, close cooperation with the Committee on Budgets and the identification of further possible savings during this budgetary procedure are needed. Taking note of the increased involvement of Members of Parliament in non-legislative work as laid down in the Rules of Procedure, which mobilises a considerable amount of Parliament’s resources and those of other EU institutions, it is necessary to analyse this fact and to present options on how to reduce this increased burden. I am of the opinion that further reorganisation of Parliament’s working methods should be considered; substantial savings could be achieved by establishing a single seat for Parliament. With regard to the conditions set out in the regulation concerning the financing of political parties, it is a cause for concern that the principles on which the EU is founded, namely, the principles of liberty, democracy and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, are not being fully respected. Parliament should provide funding only to those parties that rigorously uphold the founding principles of the EU and the Charter of Fundamental Rights."@en1
