Press Release - European Parliament Chief-Negotiator’s Priorities for the 2018 EU Budget: Growth, Jobs and Security
Postat la ora 10:15, joi, 9 februarie 2017

`The main
priorities of the EU Budget in 2018 will remain growth and jobs, because the EU
Budget is an investment budget. However, the Budget must also be able to
respond to multiple challenges simultaneously and this is why tackling the
migratory and refugee crisis shall remain high on our agenda. It is my
conviction that we cannot obtain sustainable progress in creating jobs and
growth if our citizens and companies feel unsafe or insecure. We will use the
EU Budget to improve infrastructure, to support research and innovation, to
stand by the side of SMEs and entrepreneurs, as they are the main creators of
jobs and key to ensuring economic growth`, added centre-right MEP Siegfried
Mureșan.
`Programmes such as Horizon 2020, COSME, Connecting Europe
Facility or EFSI are crucial in delivering sustainable growth in Europe and
must continue and be permanently improved. Moreover, I am firmly convinced that
the continuation of the Youth Employment Initiative is a crucial component in
combating efficiently youth unemployment, as this is one of the main concerns
at European level, which puts at risk an entire generation of young Europeans.
To achieve all of these, Europe
has to remain a safe continent for both citizens and companies. We will equip
the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and the Internal Security Fund with
enough resources and we will tackle root causes of migration in the countries
of origin of migrants and refugees as well as in the transit countries`,
concluded Siegfried Mureșan.
The Report is scheduled to be voted by the European Parliament in
its plenary session, which will take place between 13 - 16 March 2017 in
Strasbourg.
