lpv:translated text	". Mr President, when we prepared the opinion of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs on the proposal for a Council regulation laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund, we tabled 32 recommendations. In our opinion, we focused mainly on how to take the needs of disabled people into account in terms of implementing projects funded in part by money from the structural funds. We also called for the broadening of qualification criteria for funding within the framework of ‘regional competitiveness and employment’ in terms of the level of education available in a given Member State. We also called for administrative procedures concerning the use of structural funds to be simplified. Larger amounts should be paid in advance to the beneficiaries at the start of the implementation process for operational programmes. The so-called multifunding process should be maintained, which provides opportunities to obtain funding for programmes from more than one fund. We also proposed small changes to the reporting procedures, as we are convinced that excessive red tape will not aid the efficient use of European funds which are, after all, the basis for development in many regions. Not all our recommendations have been accepted, of course, but that is the way of parliamentary business and compromise, which are the basis for decisions in a Community as diverse as the European Union. However, we regard the result of our joint work as positive. We especially welcome the solutions concerning disabled people, social organisations and NGOs, as well as the extremely sensible proposals on the issue of VAT eligibility for certain activities. Taking this into account, I support Mr Hatzidakis’ motion to vote in favour of the proposed regulation."@en1
