"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I speak on behalf of the new Italian Socialist Party. I thank Mr Mauro and Mr Barrot for the excellent work that has been done and for the important content of the proposal.
At a time when Europe is divided on many fronts, I find it indeed essential to send out a message expressing our willingness to take specific action on the need for cohesion within our borders. I therefore fully agree with the content of the report: the TEN projects bring people closer together, reduce distances and inequalities, and eliminate borders. Thus they deserve our utmost commitment. I am therefore in favour of increasing our contribution to cross-border projects, which bring Europe closer to the local dimension and connect the public sphere with the private.
I should like to have seen greater European Union support for energy networks: together with transport, they form the foundations of a European economy that can compete at world level. I hope, therefore, that the new rules will soon be approved and, above all, I hope there will be a swift solution to the problem of the financial perspective for the period in question. In that respect I appeal particularly to the UK and Austrian Presidencies, and I hope that President-in-Office Blair can give us something new and positive tomorrow to revitalise the debate."@en1
