lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as shadow rapporteur for the PPE-DE Group on the report on economic and social cohesion, I would like to thank Mrs Schroedter for her work, although there are still a number of points which, by agreement with my group, I am seeking to modify by tabling a series of amendments which I hope the rapporteur will be able to accept. In particular, I feel that it is premature to ask the Commission to produce a proposal on the future of the Objective 2 regions and the future of Community initiatives even before the third report on economic and social cohesion is published, not least in that the time frames necessary for an in-depth analysis to be carried out by December 2003 – Commissioner Barnier’s deadline for presenting the report – have not been established and we have not been provided with the necessary information. We would prefer to be able to take the time necessary to work on reforming cohesion policy, in other words to work according to the time frames specified by the Commission, avoiding, above all, hasty conclusions being drawn which will not benefit the regions and will benefit the new Member States still less. Next, I would like to point out that, in an enlarged Union, some of the Objective 1 regions will automatically statistically exceed the threshold of 75% of the average Union GDP without this representing any genuine increase in development. In this respect, in line with what was decided in the second report on economic and social cohesion, for which I was the rapporteur, I feel it is inadequate to take GDP as the only indicator. Other criteria, including, in particular, the unemployment rate, should be taken into account. We also believe that the Union’s policies and the sectoral policies of the Member States must focus on the achievement of cohesion objectives and sustainable development plans for the regions. Lastly, we will vote against paragraphs 16 and 22, for they are repetitions of paragraphs already included in the rapporteur’s text."@en1
