"I welcome the huge support for the 2012 EU budget, following the agreement reached with the Council of the European Union in the Conciliation Committee. The 2012 budget will be worth EUR 129 billion, representing a moderate 1.86% increase in payment appropriations compared with 2011, and EUR 147.2 billion in commitment appropriations. Parliament has made a constructive effort, and has managed to adjust its goals in the light of the current climate, whilst still preserving major policies such as the common agricultural policy and cohesion policy, and areas of investment in the future of the economy, such as entrepreneurship, innovation, aeronautical and space research, and so on. By contrast, the European institutions’ operating budgets have been restricted to less than 6% of the EU budget. In making this decision, the institutions have sent a clear message to the public: the economic crisis affects everyone, and no one is immune to it. Amid this climate, we must also do whatever it takes in terms of restricting our spending as much as possible. I am also delighted that the programme for food aid to the most needy has been kept, as it has been one of the central concerns of the French Government and the members of the French UMP party throughout the last few months."@en1
