lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to start with the positive aspects. I would like to emphasise that we welcome what Mr La Via’s report says on the subject of growth, which is that the focus must be on growth. We need growth that creates jobs and that can help combat youth unemployment. We think that this is very important. I would like to highlight the fact that we welcome the points relating to research and investment in research. However, I think we need clearer statements on fighting poverty within Europe and also in the world as a whole, on a global level. Moreover, the report did not look at how we are to combat climate change. I am very critical of the opening section of the report, which concerns automatic sanctions. I think that threatening the Member States with automatic sanctions is a mistake, given that they are already in a difficult situation with regard to their budgets. We are opposed to this. However, I want to highlight one point which I think is very sensible and that is increased coordination of the budgets of the Member States and the EU using a process which has democratic legitimacy. I would like to make one final remark on the subject of cutbacks. I want to emphasise that we do not believe that budget cuts are appropriate. We have already made it clear that Croatia will be joining the EU during the course of the year. We will have a whole series of new jobs to do in the EU and we have had new supervisory bodies in place now for more than a year. We need these bodies and we need funding and staff for them, so that they can work effectively and prevent future crises. This will ensure that the expenditure is a sensible investment which will help us to save money in future. In my opinion, these are the crucial points. Most importantly, we hope that we can work to ensure that there are no budget cuts. For us, that is essential."@en1
