"I welcomed this document because given the heavy burden of public debt and the need for restraint at a time of ongoing national budgetary consolidation efforts, the European Parliament, and all institutions, should show budgetary responsibility and self-restraint. The institutions must reinforce their interinstitutional cooperation with a view to sharing best practices, looking for savings and thus modernising their policies on human resources, organisation, technology and buildings. I am pleased that significant savings were achieved in the 2012 budget thanks to the European Parliament’s structural changes and reorganisation. Structural and organisational reforms should therefore be continued and innovations applied in other areas. The Secretary-General should present the Committee on Budgets with a detailed report containing a clear overview of budget lines that were under-implemented in 2011 and an objective analysis of the reasons for this. However, at the same time, savings should not jeopardise the legislative activity of the European Parliament. I believe that all institutions must continue to look for further savings to maintain budgetary discipline and to freeze their budgets whilst bearing in mind legal obligations and new financial challenges."@en1
