lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should like to begin by thanking Mr Guellec for his report on the role of territorial cohesion in regional development. The report is being discussed at a time when work on the 2007-2013 Financial Perspective is ongoing, and when the Council is considering cutting the resources devoted to the European Union’s regional policy. I trust the outcome of this debate will be that most of the resources the Commission proposed should be devoted to regional policy in the 2007-2013 Financial Perspective will escape cuts, in particular as concerns the new Member States. I should also like to endorse the rapporteur’s view about the importance of territorial cohesion to regional development. I come from the Mazowsze region. It is true that this is the richest region in Poland, as evidenced by the fact that we have the highest GDP per head of population in the country. At the same time, Mazowsze is the region with the most marked internal differences. According to estimates of GDP per head of population, it is likely that in the seven years between 2014 and 2020 Mazowsze will exceed 75% of the average GDP per head of population for the European Union, and will no longer qualify for support from the Structural Funds. Nonetheless, many parts of the region will remain characterised by a very low level of development. I have taken Mazowsze as an example, but the same is true of many other regions in the old and new Member States. I therefore hope that the European Union will devise additional instruments for use in such situations, and that territorial cohesion will become an important aspect of the Union’s future regional policy. In conclusion, I should like to thank the rapporteur for highlighting the role of spatial planning in cohesion policy, as it often goes unrecognised when planning regional development."@en1
