"I supported the report by Giovanni La Via and Derek Vaughan on the general budget of the European Union for 2013. After long negotiations, this report was adopted by 492 votes to 123, with 82 abstentions. I welcome the result. The EU’s budget for 2012 totals just under EUR 150 billion and represents around 1 % of the GDP of the EU27. Even though the EU budget is still balanced, the Council wishes to cut more than EUR 5 billion from the estimated budget for 2013. However, the European Parliament wanted to increase payments by 6.82 % in comparison to 2012. My colleagues and I hope that the increase in payment appropriations will contribute directly to growth and employment in the EU."@en1
