"Mr President, can I join with others in congratulating the joint rapporteurs on this topic, Ms Thomas and Mr Olbrycht, for their work. Like others, I consider it is important that we have a flexible mechanism to ensure, over a seven-year period, when new priorities arise, that we can respond to that in a clever way, and that is exactly what we are discussing here today, and hopefully in the vote tomorrow that will be successful.
Just two points. My first point is this, that the overall budget is of course a tiny percentage of gross overall expenditure within the European Union, and the most effective way to ensure that we have more money to spend, and that we spend it wisely in a reformed way, is to ensure that we have growth across the 28 Member States of the European. That is happening this year. We see significant growth in the euro zone, we see three million additional jobs within the euro zone. Despite all the negativity that exists about the euro zone and Europe, Europe is coming back faster with a higher growth rate, and that is the most important way that we can ensure that we have additional funds to put into key investment for the European Union via the budget."@en1
