"I can only add my final support to this report which emphasises how pivotal and crucial cohesion policy is for all those who want the European model, based on integration and solidarity between the richest and poorest regions of the European Union, to be more than just a pious hope in the enlarged Union.
As this policy is crucial, it therefore needs to be reorganised, to be adapted to and meet the specific needs and socio-economic reality that will result from enlargement.
We now need to transform the economy in a way that is ecologically and socially sound and direct it towards sustainable development. Sustainable development must become the goal of the steps we take with regard to cohesion, as Jacques Delors emphasised as long ago as 1993.
In order to identify regions in need of aid, therefore, the per capita GDP criterion should no longer be the only indicator used. We need to supplement this with other regional statistical indicators. That is why I shall support Amendment No 10.
I shall therefore give this report my full backing precisely because it strongly reiterates the fact that tomorrow’s cohesion policy must be based on the principles of solidarity, partnership and additionality."@en1
