lpv:translated text	". Mr President, on behalf of the Union for Europe of the Nations Group, I would like to express my admiration for all the rapporteurs. This marathon, Mr Hatzidakis, has required a lot of effort but has resulted in a reasonable compromise. The fact that we have managed to achieve a political agreement, which takes into account the majority of reservations expressed by the European Parliament, is a success in itself. We have to be aware that time passes rapidly and that individual Member States need time to prepare their legislative systems in order to be able to make use of these funds before the 2007-2013 Financial Perspective comes into force. Member States need to coordinate these activities with their national strategic reference frameworks. Union resources are used in conjunction with the financial resources of individual Member States themselves, as well as the financial resources of regional and local authorities. If we take this approach to these funds, we will see that there are many fresh opportunities open to us. Some compare these opportunities for positive action to the benefits once brought by the Marshall Plan. This is no exaggeration. All the Member States are counting on these new opportunities, including those countries which, through no fault of their own, spent many years stagnating behind the Iron Curtain. These countries include Poland, and its eastern voivodships in particular. The European Union now needs real internal solidarity. It needs political, economic, social and territorial cohesion. We are living in regions that have significantly different levels of development and wealth. It is worth remembering that around 27% of the population of the European Union, namely 123 million people, live in areas where the GDP per capita is less than three quarters of the European Union average. Of course we also need to face the challenges of globalisation, competition, science and technology as well as dealing with the demographic crisis, an ageing population, a growing number of disabled people and immigration. We have to be sure that appropriate use of these funds will contribute to solving some of these problems. Finally, I would like to draw your attention to the need to monitor the legislation adopted and, if necessary, to respond rapidly. Not one euro should be wasted. Not a single opportunity should be missed. This is the best way of bringing Europe closer to its citizens."@en1
