lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I will keep my comments very brief. I will simply remark that the Commission envisaged EUR 740 million to fund 'Marco Polo II' and that the European Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism voted in favour of that sum and restated its keenness to secure proper funding for the programme. However, we now have a proposal for EUR 400 million over seven years, with new priorities that need to be funded, eligibility thresholds 50% lower and twice the geographical scope. Just as in the case of the trans-European transport networks, we are spreading ourselves very thinly. I rather doubt that, under these circumstances, the hoped-for trigger and lever effects will materialise, and I find that deeply regrettable, all the more so because 'Marco Polo II' is a programme that has already proven itself to be effective. Now more than ever, Europe must keep its promises if it is going to regain people's trust. We are not going to manage it with this kind of budget, though. Even though I welcome the efforts made by the members of Parliament's Committee on Transport to limit the reduction of this funding, I cannot vote in favour of this report, and I will be abstaining in the final vote."@en1
