"The present economic and financial crisis requires great efforts at budgetary consolidation, not just by the majority of Member States, but also by the European Parliament and the other institutions of the European Union. This report on general guidelines for the preparation of the 2013 budget – Section III – Commission reflects this concern; specifically, the Commission’s desire for a 1% cut in the number of posts in its establishment plans as early as 2013, as well as a 5% cut in the staffing level in EU institutions and bodies by 2018. Although a reduction in administrative spending is being considered so as to free up funds intended for investment funds to boost economic growth and job creation, this reduction cannot jeopardise financial commitments regarding payment appropriations. I welcome the adoption of this report, which points towards a budget of rigour for 2013, but also a budget of growth and cohesion. I hope it will be possible to free up funds from heading 5 so as to increase the sums intended for youth employment and support for small and medium-sized enterprises."@en1
