"We have chosen to support this report, as we believe the proposed increase in the EU’s payments over the next year to be reasonable in relation to the EU’s existing commitments. To turn a blind eye to these and to the challenges that the Union is facing would be irresponsible. The habit of always carrying over the payments into the following year’s budget must be broken. At the same time, however, we also supported the amendment demanding that Parliament’s work be based at a single location, and the amendment calling for a thorough examination of the European added value in each investment that is made. This is particularly important at the current time when several countries are in economic crisis. We believe, however, that these times more than ever require initiatives from the EU, and that the EU must therefore be given sufficient funds to be able to meet its commitments. To instead choose, at EU level, to pull out of a difficult situation would not be the right way to go."@en1
