".
This budget will not help to resolve the economic, social and environmental problems facing the European Union which have been aggravated by the crisis.
It also fails to take account of increased social and regional inequalities, unemployment and poverty. The European Union’s budget must serve to effectively prioritise convergence policies based on social progress, the preservation and promotion of each Member State’s potential, the sustainable use of natural resources and environmental protection, in order to achieve genuine economic and social cohesion.
My entire group is united in rejecting the idea of using the Community’s budget to promote a more militarist and neoliberal European Union. That is why we are opposed to the increase in military expenditure contained in the budget. In this connection, we wish to highlight the need for democratic control of expenditure relating to the Common Foreign and Security Policy. This is a grey area outside the scope of the control to which budgetary expenditure is subject."@en1
