"Since the fiasco involving the euro rescue package, the net contributors have been asked to pay up two and three times over. In the next few years, hard cash will be poured into these rescue mechanisms instead of guarantees. This will have to be financed by the net contributors, in other words, the hard-working German, French, Italian, Dutch and Austrian citizens, from their national budgets. However, the first painful cuts are already being felt in these countries. Demanding budget increases in this difficult situation is scandalous. We do not need an inflated EU budget that may be up to ten times larger than necessary. We do not need a budget funded by EU taxpayers which is completely lacking in any awareness of the need for austerity measures, which will bring about a further increase in the Brussels bureaucracy and which will rob the net contributors of their last pennies. Instead, we should take every opportunity to make savings. Farming subsidies, the largest and most controversial item on the budget, should be renationalised. This would take the pressure off the EU budget and put the Member States in a better position to offer subsidies suited to the specific features of their agricultural industries. For this reason, I had no hesitation in voting against Mr Böge’s report."@en1
