"Madam President, the Commission has the audacity to ask for half a billion euros from the Dutch taxpayer because it has a deficit of EUR 10 billion. While Brussels is asking the Netherlands to stick within the 3 % budget norm, it cannot even manage to stay within its own budget.
Madam President, the EU should not exceed its budget. If it does, that is due to the financial mismanagement of this Commission and is not the fault of the Member States. The Commission should be burning with shame. While a new government has been formed in the Netherlands and is trying all manners of ways to scrape millions together, this Commission shamelessly asks for half a billion euros.
The debate here about the long-term financial framework is completely futile if the Commission is still unable to stick to its agreements. This hypocritical attitude of the Commission, combined with its completely unreasonable requirements for the MFF, makes me increasingly hope for a cast-iron veto from more Member States."@en1
