"I voted in favour of the report, whose main political message is that the EU budget needs to play an important role in getting us out of the current economic and social crisis, in promoting growth and in creating jobs. As far as cohesion policy is concerned, the problem of late payments that arose at the end of 2011 should be addressed by making adequate payment appropriations available in 2012, so that shortfalls do not get any worse in 2013, when application of cohesion policy programmes is expected to speed up. That is why the European Parliament, the Commission and the Council need to conduct an immediate analysis and evaluation of resources and needs, so as not to jeopardise the application of programmes in 2013. I also call on the Council and the Commission to carefully evaluate real payment needs under Heading 1b and not to make cuts that are unrealistic and unfounded and that conflict with the forecasts provided by the Member States, which are useful as a basis for preparing the draft budget. Otherwise, the European Parliament will have to oppose any possible reduction at payment appropriation level compared with those needs."@en1
