Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Takes the view that the promotion of growth and jobs require specific actions and enhanced budgetary efforts to support competitiveness, innovation and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), since most of the EU economic potential lies in SMEs, which, according to latest studies, created 85 % of net new jobs in the EU between 2002 and 2010 and are the backbone of our economic growth; acknowledging therefore that efforts need to be made to reconsider the weighting of current headings and budget lines to support the promotion of growth efforts;

6. Stresses that such support would be instrumental in preventing SMEs from cutting down their investments, in particular on research and development, while at the same time promoting employment and ensuring that skills are conserved, thus helping to unleash SMEs’ innovation potential, which is essential to the EU’s prosperity and to the creation of a knowledge-based society; further stresses in this context the necessity to further simplify the application procedure for EU-funded programmes;

Paragraph 22
22. Welcomes the agreement reached on financing the additional costs of ITER in December 2011; urges the Commission to respect the joint conclusions in this agreement in their entirety and to make concrete proposals on the amount of EUR 360 million in the 2013 draft budget, making full use of the provisions laid down in the Financial Regulation and in the IIA of 17 May 2006 and excluding any further ITER-related revision of the MFF; reiterates its strong conviction that securing the amount of EUR 360 million in the 2013 budget should not impair the successful implementation of other EU policies during this last year of the programming periodespecially those that contribute to achieving the goals of the EU 2020 strategy (R&D, Innovation, entrepreneurship, employment, education) during this last year of the programming period and specifically requests that possible redeployments should not infringe upon these budgetary priorities;

Paragraph 22 a (new)
22a. Recalls that financial commitments entered in international agreements and/or agreements between the EU and international organisations shall be respected; in this regard, referring e.g. to the Joint declaration between the European Commission and UNRWA on European Union support to UNRWA in 2011-2013, which stipulates that "the EU's indicative contribution to UNWRA's general fund is based on the 2011 budget allocated to the Palestinians", calls on the Commission not to depart from the 2011 envelope when preparing the draft budget for the line 19 08 01 02 (ENP financial assistance to Palestine, the peace Process and UNRWA);
