European Parliament
Bonde (IND/DEM ),
in writing.
(DA)
I am abstaining from voting on this report. I do not regret the fact that there is a surplus in the EU budget, since this means smaller contributions for the individual Member States. The Member States’ contributions should be reduced permanently with a view to limiting the way in which money is shunted around and, in the longer term, even the EU’s administration. I wish to see a general review of the way in which the EU’s budget is funded, leading to a uniform system of payments.
