"The response to the current economic crisis in the EU should not be less Europe, but more Europe. Of course, it will not be free of charge. This must entail the use of the appropriate instruments which are, or will be, available. These undoubtedly include the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for the period 2014-2020, which should be used to fulfil the Strategy 2020. Unfortunately, negotiations on the MFF have recently got stuck and there has been a certain split among Member States. The group dominated by ‘net contributors’ is demanding cuts in the MFF. If such cuts are implemented, the MFF will shift to a level of about EUR 973 billion, which would mean a fall of EUR 20 billion in comparison with the current MFF at 2011 prices. I am therefore a fan of the second group (‘the friends of cohesion’), which supports the Commission’s original proposal, because I consider the MFF to be the key instrument in overcoming the crisis. If the cuts are implemented, there would be a reduction in competitiveness, growth and employment in the EU. In order to overcome the budget uncertainties, it is essential that the negotiations between institutions are completed as quickly as possible. Any further obstructions will unnecessarily increase the tension during negotiations, rather than effectively resolving the future of the EU."@en1
