"The responses we should bring to the challenges that face us – the economic crisis, the rapid rise of the emerging economies, climate change, turbulent demographic change and so on – can only be effective if we create them collectively, at European level. I am absolutely convinced that we should move in the direction of greater involvement of the European Union. While the EU budget is a major political lever, the ceiling on the EU’s own resources has remained unchanged since 1993. This resolution calls for the European budget to be allocated resources equal to the EU’s ambitions. I am wholly in favour of this idea and give it my support. Personally, I am particularly in favour of implementing the European tax on financial transactions as quickly as possible, if we cannot have an agreement at world level. Although I am not entirely in favour of the resources released in this way being allocated to the Union’s budget, as I think that the Millennium Development Goals should benefit, at least in part, I wished to vote for paragraph 171 to send a positive signal to the Commission and the Council regarding the implementation of this tax."@en1
