"Madam President, Commissioner, as rapporteur for the opinion of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, I would like to express the committee’s position in favour of a consistent European Union budget. The Union budget is a catalyst for investment and periods of crisis are the very times when the EU needs a budgetary voice, in order to create employment and promote growth in our countries.
2013 is a pre-election year, so the Committee on Constitutional Affairs believes that there should be specific funding for informing the public about what is at stake in the European elections, and also for informing them of their rights to take part in the political life of the Union. For this same reason, there should be a consistent budget for the Communicating Europe in Partnership programme.
Finally, I would like to point out that the European citizens initiative came into force in April. Some initiatives have already been put before the Commission. Hearings in Parliament will probably be needed, and the budgetary resources should be provided in order to organise them."@en1
