"With regard to the European Union budget for 2013, I believe that we should place the greatest emphasis on reaching a degree of political compromise, especially at a time of crisis. Two political fronts have emerged within the Union, one of which is calling for deep cuts, in particular France, but also Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands, that is the EU Member States enjoying a high level of economic development, while on the other side of the ‘barricade’ are the countries of Central and Eastern and southern Europe, countries that are still developing, with the help of European Union funding. As 2013 approaches, accompanied by the strong possibility of budget cuts (the talk is of savings in every possible sector), a situation may arise whereby there is not enough money to finance existing commitments. Already at risk is the European Social Fund, of vital importance because it benefits all EU citizens, whether they are in work or seeking employment, and many other EU programmes, including the Erasmus programme, which may suffer the biggest cuts. At a time of crisis, we should strengthen social protection for the unemployed, while creating growth in various workplaces, in both the public and private sector, which requires a high level of financial assistance."@en1
