"Madam President, to quote from your own documents, ‘national and local events will take place in every EU Member State’ – awareness-raising campaigns, workshops, school indoctrination and so on. The documents also say that this is mainly the responsibility of the Member State. No EU money is forthcoming, so it is Member States’ money.
How do those countries most in need manage that? Only last month, this House voted to raise the take from Member States by 5%. Of a hundred budget lines, some 20 were for a reduction. With like-minded MEPs, I supported those – which would have saved European taxpayers EUR 100 million – but was outvoted by most of you on all except two lines, so only EUR 1 million was saved.
If people keep more of their earnings, they spend more, helping other businesses to keep going and helping employment. So Member States who really need help for this programme will not get it. Where will they find the money? You have already raided their bank balances for bailout funds."@en1
