1a. Considers that there should be budgetary restraint over the coming years and this should be reflected in the Draft Budget 2015; welcomes the Commission’s shift towards the growth, jobs and competitiveness programmes; considers that the aim needs to be to reduce waste and inefficiency and to direct funds to those areas that create jobs and deliver the best value for money.
