lpv:translated text	"Outsiders find European regulations a great and impenetrable mystery. Many different regulations, varying requirements and conditions, masses of provisions and long texts create a forest of rules. Citizens and companies are lost without expert help. Thus, European regulations are not shining examples of clarity and comprehensibility. Legal action taken and legal queries raised by local authorities, businesses and affected citizens shows that this can cause problems when it comes to applying for aid. Parliament should therefore support the proposal to simplify and clarify the rules on granting aid in the context of employment promotion. Simplification and clarification does not mean adding numerous new objectives and ideas that are difficult to implement. It is in this context that I should like to make a brief comment on the first amendment. The additions proposed in Amendment No 1 really belong to employment policy, and have no place in a resolution on granting aid on the basis of the EC Treaty. As I see it, the Commission's regulation deals primarily with the financial side of granting aid. After all, aid is granted only when necessary and when justified by the circumstances. The additions mentioned in the first amendment are in my view also too broad for specific application in the context of granting aid. I support this resolution, except for Amendment No 1. I also agree with Mr Bouwman that the procedural handling of this report has been somewhat bizarre."@en1
