"While the debates on the general budget for the European Union for 2013 are already showing signs of becoming strained between Parliament and the Council, we, the MEPs, are in the process of drawing up the next operational budget for our institution. Aware of certain budgetary constraints, we have evaluated the change in our funding requirements at + 1.9% in comparison with 2012, an increase below the level of inflation. Some budget lines will be subject to freezing in order to achieve this target, such as Members’ allowances, transport costs, etc. Other areas will also need to be studied closely in order to avoid any overspending: this is the case for costs relating to building maintenance or the establishment of the House of European History. Over the course of the year, we will also need to be more vigilant about some additional necessary loans, such as those relating to the accession of Croatia, which have still not been included in the budget’s provisions. Parliament must be exemplary in establishing its budget to ensure that it has the means to fully guarantee its democratically received powers while controlling its spending within reasonable limits."@en1
