Not so Great Spending Proposals for the New EU Long Term Budget

okay so the EU finance ministers are meeting tonight to discuss the new long term budget (2007-2013). Some of the main contributors to the EU budget, germany, netherlands, UK, france, austria and sweden wants a smaller budget with a 1% ceiling of the GDP, while many others, amongst them mr Barosso, want a larger one.

But since these countries obviously have more influence over how much the EU should spend, they will probably get right. However whats pissing me off big time is that instead of cutting on the CAP (common agriculture policices) they decided to cut on things the like regional aid, lissabon agenda, and R&D which is totally retarded imo.

And i really hope that the UKs rebate will be taken away, its no way it can be justified!

so, please defend how the hell we can spend an amount of money thats higher than the GDP of spain on a policy that only makes our economy slow down and keep ineffient business in business, and also that keeps the third world countries back!

CAP indirectly kills 6,600 people in developing countries every day!!!

Cos we are the most important and most powerful country in the Eu so you need to do what we say!

And that means cutting CAP, letting Turkey join and letting us have our rebate!

If you are the ones to manage to cut CAP significantly i think your rebate is justified!!!
