"Mr President, governments and citizens are having to make savings everywhere in Europe. But what do we see? The Committee on Budgets wants a budget increase of nearly 7 %. You wonder which planet this unbelievable decision was taken on. My group has tabled amendments with a view to reducing the budget. We have to scrap the megalomaniac House of European History project. We also need to consider whether the European agencies and the European foreign service are, in fact, spending the budget wisely. Mr President, why does the European Rail Agency have two places of work 45 kilometres apart? Why does the European foreign service have nearly 50 staff on the tropical island of Barbados? Transparency is at least as important. And that has to start with ourselves. I have proposed again that Members’ general expense allowances should be made transparent. If we include that in the resolution, the European Parliament will gain credibility, which I think is very important."@en1
