"This interim report aims to facilitate and speed up approval of the multiannual financial framework for the period 2014-2020. Europe’s citizens have high hopes that the priorities in the Europe 2020 strategy will be achieved, namely smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. This will be the only way to exit the crisis and develop the European economy. In this context, I would highlight the importance of cohesion policy. Every study points to its added value. Given the huge disparities between EU regions, this policy clearly needs to be maintained and must never become an adjustment measure for other policies, such as those resulting, for example, from the emblematic initiatives of Europe 2020. Cohesion policy is the only policy that can simultaneously contribute to the five Europe 2020 objectives in the area of education, research and innovation, climate change, employment and the fight against poverty. Over 80 % of the EU budget depends on direct contributions from the national budgets. This means that each Member State seeks a ‘juste retour’, which leads to an unhealthy distinction between net contributors and recipients. That is why the EU needs genuine own resources. As a result, the EU must seek other income, such as by imposing a Financial Transaction Tax and charging VAT as proposed by the Commission."@en1
