"Madam President, Commissioner, is it normal for the Commission to decide on a redeployment of funds with the Member States and for Parliament to be presented with the fait accompli?
We are told that EUR 82 billion of funds have not been used and will not be used by 2013. We are being asked to take you at your word, but I would like to take a closer look. How can you be sure in 2012 that these funds will not be spent before the end of the programming period? What I want to say is that none of the regions which initially benefited from these funds should be penalised by this redeployment.
However, deep down, the reason behind this redeployment lies elsewhere, does it not? Is it not a case of alleviating the devastating effects of the austerity policies which are currently in place throughout the European Union?
In order to alleviate the effects of the crisis it would have been much wiser to use new resources. To use new resources to finance real growth policies and real youth employment policies. Within these new resources I am thinking of the financial transactions tax, which we have been calling for for a long time and which is yet to be finalised."@en1
