"At a time of economic and financial crisis, when Member States are putting every aspect of their budgets under the microscope, the multiannual financial framework, which sets out the EU’s spending for 2014 to 2020 in broad terms, is extremely important. The EU must achieve a balancing act between budget discipline, planning certainty and a level of flexibility which will enable it to respond to unforeseen situations. Above all, recent developments have shown that unforeseen situations can have global consequences which require an immediate response. Greater flexibility based on appropriate adjustments is therefore provided for within the new financial framework for 2014-2020. Irrespective of the budget architecture, it is essential that cross-border programmes – whether in the social, education, employment or cultural policy field – continue to be financed by Europe, and this aspect should therefore be considered in the reprogramming of the Structural Funds within the framework of this report. The European Parliament will be looking very closely at how the Council takes up its pen and starts to make cuts. The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), which is intended to do much to support the creation of a single European transport area, is a further challenge in the discussions with the Council. Improving mobility for goods and people alike, creating better connections for remote regions, making the entire transport system more eco-friendly: these are all goals which many governments have set themselves. They must now show that they have the political will to make these goals a reality."@en1
