lpv:spoken text	"It is clear that there is still much uncertainty over the Commission’s estimates on what it needs in 2013 to pay the bills from Member States. The prudent approach at a time when there is huge pressure on public spending across Europe and people are under serious financial strain is to aim for a budget freeze if possible. That is why today we oppose Parliament and Commission’s position of a 6.8 % increase in the 2013 Budget. Once all the bills from Member States are presented for payment by next October, if there is a shortfall it can be addressed then through an amending budget. I welcome that Parliament has agreed a real-term cut in its own budget, frozen MEP allowances and cut MEP travel allowances by 5 %. I also welcome Parliament’s vote calling for an end to the circus of travelling to Strasbourg every month, with the largest majority ever. I hope that now the Member States will look to a solution to put an end to the monthly trek, costing EUR 180 m per year and generating 19 000 tonnes of CO ."@en1
