The proposed increase in the budget for the European Parliament, which is far below the rate of inflation, is thus not a reasonable one. It takes no account, for example, of the increase in the number of members of this House by 18, of the fact that we must fund the accession of Croatia, or of the other investments that we have to make.
Elle ne prend pas en considération, par exemple, l’arrivée de 18 députés supplémentaires, ni le fait que nous devons financer l’adhésion de la Croatie, ni les autres investissements que nous devons faire.
