"The European Parliament has repeatedly asked the Commission and Council to provide for more flexibility in the EU’s Multiannual Financial Framework, which was one of the main obstacles to overcoming the effects of the economic crisis in Europe, particularly in relation to providing emergency relief.
The EU must take into account increasing competition in the world, and new challenges such as energy security. The EU will only become more competitive in the world when we have fair competition between Member States.
Therefore, we must develop our cohesion policy in order to reduce the existing economic and social disparities between Member States. We must straighten out agricultural policy and equalise direct payments to farmers. A situation in which, for example, Greek farmers continue to receive 3-4 times larger payments than Latvian farmers cannot be tolerated. I should also like to see more funding for support to business in the EU budget.
The draft regulation does not provide for the necessary flexibility within the EU budget, nor does it call for supplementary funding to implement political and economic priorities.
This resolution rejects the draft financial framework that has been presented to us, and that is why I support it."@en1
