"The EPLP welcomes the positive elements in the Parliament’s first reading position, including funding for economic development in our regions, support for crucial research and development and increased overseas aid in line with the UK’s target to increase total overseas development assistance. We also recognise that extra expenditure resulting from the European External Action Service and the new European supervisory authorities is essential to implement these important new activities, and is supported by all Member States, including the UK, in the Council. However, we are deeply concerned about expenditure in a number of areas that do not reflect value for money or have negative consequences for EU citizens and people in developing countries. This includes EU funding for alcohol and tobacco production, which conflicts with the EU’s health objectives, and EU agricultural export subsidies which harm developing countries, as well as increases in budget lines relating to expenses, travel, publications and other administrative costs. In the current economic environment, it is more important than ever to justify expenditure on our priorities by tackling all wasteful and excessive spending in other sectors. The EPLP voted against the final budget resolution at this stage, to send a clear message ahead of negotiations between the institutions."@en1
