"The specific purpose of this amending budget is to ensure that the EU will meet its commitments as regards cohesion policy. In order to meet commitments already made, the Commission estimates that the European Social Fund needs a further EUR 1.5 billion for 2011, while another EUR 142 million is required for research. The Commission has tabled amending budget No 6/2011 in order to tackle this need for EUR 1.642 billion by redeploying funds, so it remains within the margins of the budget. In Heading 1, EUR 697 million has been found, and EUR 395 million has been found in Heading 2, more specifically, in rural development. There is, therefore, a EUR 550 million shortfall. That is why there is a need for this amending budget. However, the Member States do not agree with these sums and have approved only EUR 200 million for this purpose; even so, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands voted against. There is no record of the Council calling into question the figures tabled by the Commission. Moreover, I would point out that the Council has stated that it had other figures, but has never tabled them."@en1
