"Mr Manisco, the Commission regards it as most important to promote cooperation between the states and the regions with funds from the European budget, with your help. That is why the proposal on the review of the financial perspective specifically earmarks approximately EUR 80-90 million for cooperation projects. Secondly, as I pointed out, we have allocated EUR 40 million for aid to Serbia in this year’s budget as well, but these funds will only be used in a targeted manner in areas where the democratic opposition forces are currently endeavouring to establish a democratic system and the rule of law.
This year’s budget includes EUR 540 million for the region as a whole. At the donor conference on the Stability Pact, Mr Patten approved certain projects and made it clear that the Commission can provide practical measures of assistance on the ground. These EUR 540 million are available in the budget, thanks largely to the very strong support of the European Parliament and its endeavour to genuinely allocate adequate resources to this task. In this connection, let me once again thank the European Parliament for making such an effort to ensure that the necessary funds are available in the 2000 Budget."@en1
