lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I believe that Parliament understands the Commission's intention of less and better targeted state aid, obviously with the emphasis on the poorer regions of the European Union. Nonetheless, these restrictions on state aid must also have a limit. A large and simultaneous reduction in the appropriations received by the regions through the Structural Funds, on the one hand, and in state aid, on the other, risks turning out to be a disaster for their essential development. Obviously, one such example, as already pointed out, is the regions which fall victim to the statistical effect and see subsidies through the Structural Funds limited as a result of enlargement, on the one hand, and the European Commission saying they may be able to get state aid up to 2009, but that from 2009 onwards there will be problems, on the other. This is unfair. This has been pointed out repeatedly by Parliament and in the Koterec report. This is the third time that this has been pointed out and the Commission needs to take it into account. Similarly, the problem of the islands needs to be addressed, especially in relation to the additional cost of transport for island regions. I have examples from Greece which illustrate that the cost of transport on the islands is three times that needed to travel the same distance on the mainland. My final comment is that we need to look carefully at the risk of company relocations. It must be made clear both by us and by the Commission that companies which receive state aid need to stay where they were when they received the subsidies for at least five years."@en1
