Text tabled : A7-0313/2012

  Jan Březina (PPE), in writing. (CS) With respect to the approval of the report on the multiannual financial framework, I welcome the significant increase in funding for the Union programmes in the fields of competitiveness, small and medium-sized enterprises, entrepreneurship and sustainable infrastructures, which are at the heart of the Europe 2020 strategy. I am convinced that further cuts with respect to the Commission proposal would jeopardise the effectiveness of these programmes and, in the final analysis, the credibility of the EU and its commitment to growth and job creation. I am of the view that the Connecting Europe Facility aiming to improve Europe’s transport, energy and digital networks should be financed independently and not through the transfer of resources from the Cohesion Fund. If such a transfer does take place, these resources should be used in accordance with the national allocations under the Cohesion Fund. In view of the importance of the EU cohesion policy as a strategic instrument for investment, sustainable growth and competitiveness, I consider it vital that financing intended for the cohesion policy should be kept at least at the same level as in the 2007-2013 period and should continue to be available in particular to the less developed regions in the EU.
