".
The major shortcoming of this resolution is that it is hampered by Parliament’s resolution on the Financial Perspective for 2007-2013, which accepts a financial envelope of 0.41% of Community GNI for the Structural and Cohesion Funds. The increased cohesion needs in light of the enlargement and economic and social disparities would suggest that this figure falls short of what is required.
Consequently, we have once again made a number of proposals, including an increase in amounts for the structural funds, aimed at guaranteeing full compensation for the regions affected by the ‘statistical effect’ and at implementing phasing out mechanisms for the Cohesion Fund. These proposals were, to our dismay, rejected by the majority of Members of this House.
We also deplore the rejection of our proposals to scrap mechanisms affecting the implementation of the Structural Funds, not least the levels of cofinancing and prefinancing and the pegging of the Cohesion Fund to the Stability and Growth Pact, and to scrap mechanisms that undermine the expenditure objective of the Structural Funds (the ‘n+2 rule’).
We also feel that the restriction of long-term public aid commitments to businesses should be strengthened, especially in terms of jobs, as we proposed."@en1
