"Madam President, since 1983, the European years have covered everything from music to cancer. The 30th year will be the European Year of Citizenship and, clearly, we are running out of ideas. We have already had a European Year of Citizens through Education and a European Year of Workers’ Mobility. We simply do not need another European Year to inform people of their rights as EU citizens because, not only is the EU running out of ideas, but it is also running out of money.
The Commission’s proposed budget for the year was EUR 1 million but, in its wisdom, Parliament has called for a five times increase in this budget. This morning I and my group called on the EU to make meaningful cuts to the budget to reflect the austerity measures governments have faced across the continent. Putting an end to the European years would be a good start."@en1
