European Parliament
David Martin (PSE ),
in writing
Once again we are adopting a budget which does not meet the commitments entered into by the EU institutions. This is particularly true in relation to foreign and security policy and development policy. It is bound to increase the impression in the world that the EU is very poor when it comes to putting its money where its mouth is.
That said, I welcome the emphasis in this budget on proper control and getting value for money.
