"The budget for 2013 sets out Parliament’s position in the negotiations with the Council. The aim of the budget is to be an instrument for economic recovery through targeted measures to increase investment, stability and growth, with particular emphasis on promoting employment among young people, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises and achieving the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy. The proposed budget aims at expansion, which cannot be reconciled with the calls on the Member States to exercise restraint. The current motion does not re-prioritise the budget lines in the way that is needed. The view of mankind that the Christian Democrats embrace posits that every human being has an inherent, inviolable value. We must devote more political energy to fighting violations of this value, and this must show in the EU budget. I voted for the proposal to move resources from agriculture support to internal security, that is, the fight against crime, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and to support for research and environmental measures. The core of European cooperation consists of more than employment levels and competitiveness in the market, and this must show in the budget. This core consists of cooperation for peace and protection of human dignity from the cradle to the grave. I voted for the budget as a whole, and for all of the amendments that will, as far as I can see, lead to greater focus on the EU’s core area."@en1
