"The European Parliament is resolute in its stance that the EU budget for the period 2014–2020 cannot be reduced, since inadequate funding could jeopardise, among other things, the EU’s strategy for growth, our ability to deliver on Europe 2020, and economic growth. I would like to emphasise that we must avoid cutting not only the overall budget, but also the budget allocation for regional policy in the programming period 2014-2020. It is particularly important for ‘friends’ of cohesion policy, such as Hungary, that the interim report highlights EU cohesion policy as a strategic tool for investment, sustainable growth and competitiveness, as well as the main pillar of European solidarity. The European Parliament insists that this policy area must have a stable, solid and sustainable financial framework behind it and that funding should remain at least at the level of the 2007–2013 budget. In the light of all this, I find it unacceptable that, on the basis of the Commission’s proposal, Hungary would be the only EU Member State where per capita GDP in the period 2014–2020 would be consistently lower than 75 % of the EU average, while its cohesion funding could fall by as much as 30 % compared to the current budgetary period. I consider the low growth ceilings set and the growth projections used to determine support levels to be unfair and counter to the spirit of the EU Treaties because they hit countries with the lowest growth levels hardest and hence keep them lagging behind in the long term."@en1
