"The European Union budget that we propose for 2013 has been increased by 6.8% in comparison to 2012 regarding expenditure, reaching almost EUR 138 billion. I hope that this increase will be enough to deal with the commitments taken on by the EU, where I highlight the investments that each Member State is making, in particular regarding cohesion policy. It should be remembered that the Structural Funds resources for the current multiannual financial framework 2007-2013 are already working at full capacity and we are expecting significant implementation next year. I recall that, at the end of 2011, the Commission was unable to reimburse some EUR 11 billion, corresponding to legitimate payment claims because of the insufficient level of payment appropriations. This occurred because of the Council which uncompromisingly acted against its own interests. Finally, I would congratulate the rapporteur on his excellent work. Like him, I advocate the promotion of growth and jobs, support for small and medium-size enterprises and young people, and smart, sustainable and inclusive growth as priorities for the 2013 budget."@en1
