lpv:translated text	". Mr President, negotiations with the Council were, yet again, not straightforward, but it is important that we were able eventually to come to an agreement on the question of the modernisation of the fishing fleet and on additional funds for the Member States' frontier regions. The roles played by the Commission, and indeed also by some Members, were in our view not always transparent. The acceding countries must not have large amounts of promotional funds made available to them whilst the frontier regions of our Member States get no additional funds at all. These regions' economic situation is often not much better than that in the acceding countries. The poor economic situation in the frontier regions of the Member States may well get even worse after the new countries join the EU, because differing levels of funding – almost all get Objective 1 funding – will greatly favour the frontier regions of the acceding countries, some of which already possess better transport infrastructure than is to be found in the frontier regions of the Member States. As an example of this, I would mention the airport at Laibach in Slovenia, which is more modern and much better developed than the airport at Klagenfurt in Southern Austria. The accession of the new states will, for the reasons I have mentioned, make it difficult, or almost impossible, to support small and medium-sized enterprises in the frontier regions of the Member States. We must, though, be clear in our own minds that the citizens in these regions can hardly be in favour of the accession of new countries under these circumstances."@en1
