lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I especially welcome paragraph 20 on additionality and hope very much that the Commission will take particular account of the importance of transparency. I would add that this should also relate to the question of whether the principle is being complied with, not just overall by Member States, but at regional levels within them. I would also ask the Commission to consider introducing a little more flexibility at the stage when projects are being set up. I am thinking of one very worthy project within my own constituency which, because of the very short timetable and a misunderstanding, did not enable contracts to be drawn up by the end of December last year. The offer of funding was consequently withdrawn. I do not dispute that this decision was correct and I understand the Commission's wish to ensure that projects are completed in time. The sad thing about this particular decision was that the project clearly would have been. Finally, I believe that there is a great deal of merit in Amendment No 5. If I understand what is being asked for correctly, the practice already applies in Scotland. Management at this level allows for a high degree of coordination and exchange of best practice between those involved. It also encourages pioneering activities. I offer as an example our Objective 3 partnership's development of a tool kit for gender mainstreaming in structural funding. I understand that serious consideration is already being given to its use in other parts of the European Union. May I please ask the Commission to think very carefully about the merits of taking on board Amendment No 5."@en1
