lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, as you know and as you see, the European Parliament remains very vigilant about the future of regional policy, one of the most important policies in the eyes of the citizens. Despite the work done by our rapporteur and our committee, one crucial point is still outstanding: the amount of funding to be allocated to this policy. It is essential that the future expenditure ceiling should allow this policy to be strengthened after enlargement. There is a very great difference between the Commission’s proposals for 1.24% of gross domestic income (GDI) and the 1% proposed by six States, and regional policy runs the risk of being used as a balancing item for European politics. We remember the commitment shown by Mr Barnier, who steadfastly opposed the six countries that want a reduced European budget. Now that Mr Barnier is a government minister, I therefore hope he will continue to show in the Council the commitment he had as Commissioner and that he will be able to get all his colleagues to change their position with regard to the Commission proposal. The Structural Funds are in fact essential to European solidarity. The Union needs a real cohesion policy, the financial resources to implement it and therefore income equivalent to at least 1.24% of GDI."@en1
