"The European budget must support growth and the creation of high-quality jobs, in accordance with the EU 2020 strategy. In my opinion, it is justifiable for the Council to fund this strategy properly, despite the cost-cutting measures. The EU budgets for individual years form part of the seven year financial framework, which estimates how much money will be needed for EU programmes. The European Parliament's proposal for the 2012 EU budget focuses on the need to respect existing commitments and to accelerate programmes that are coming to an end. The total budget for next year will be EUR 129.1 billion (a growth of 1.86%) in payments and EUR 147.2 billion in commitments. There will be a limited increase in funding for payments, as requested by Member States, which have accepted the European Parliament’s growth priorities, such as, for example, innovation, employment, border protection and migration management and supporting the development of democracy in the Arab world. The budget headings where Parliament is requesting more growth include research and development (+8.8%) and headings covering the Cohesion Fund and the Structural Funds (+10.35%). These policies include as a component long-term investment projects that are now, during the fifth year of the multi-year financial framework, fully operational and within the framework of which it will now be necessary to pay invoices that the EU made a commitment to pay in the past."@en1
