"We have chosen to vote in favour of the report on the mandate for the trialogue on the 2012 Draft Budget. We believe that it is very important for work on the EU 2020 strategy to begin immediately and for the strategy to be given adequate financial resources in order to prevent a repeat of the failure of the Lisbon Strategy. We also believe that it is important for the EU to have the resources it requires to be able to carry out its new tasks under the Treaty of Lisbon.
We do not agree that the level of payments from the EU budget should be frozen during 2012, which is why we do not support Amendment 16. The payments are based on previous years’ budget decisions regarding commitments and therefore the level of the payments is simply a consequence of previous undertakings. The Union must inevitably pay what it has promised to pay. At the same time, we are also keen for the EU to pursue a responsible budgetary policy and therefore welcome the passages stating that we will also continue to identify and evaluate negative priorities.
However, we would like to point out that we do not believe it to be necessary to continue to provide EU support for the school fruit programme and the aid for deprived persons programme, as we believe that it is better for the measures that these programmes entail to be taken at national level. Neither do we agree that initiatives for a switch to a more environmentally sound and sustainable agriculture should only be taken without compromising the competitiveness of EU farmers. Unfortunately, it was not possible to vote on these aspects separately."@en1
