Draft amending budget No 6/2013 (A7-0347/2013 - Giovanni La Via)
Marta Andreasen (ECR), in writing. − I always oppose any handout of extra cash to the European Commission. However, in the case of Amending Budget Number 6, which was voted today to make up for shortfalls in Excise and VAT resources, I abstained, given that we were informed by HM Treasury that the recalculation resulted in a reduction to the British contribution.
