"Mr President, I should like to congratulate the rapporteurs on the excellent job which they have done throughout this period. The cohesion tools, the Structural Funds, are what brings Europe close to the citizens.
It is particularly important that the European Parliament managed, through long and difficult negotiations, to introduce important qualitative changes to the texts of the regulations, changes which will help to improve the quality of life of the citizens and to create actions and plans which will not result in divergence, changes which promote sustainable development and the democratisation of procedures to apply the funds through an enlarged partnership and the participation of representatives of civil society.
At times of crisis and European scepticism, such successes are important and we all need to work not only on promoting them, but also on ensuring they are applied properly.
The new programming period is difficult. The resources allocated to cohesion are inadequate and inequalities in terms of development are acute. It is very important, therefore, to have decentralised, flexible procedures with as little red tape as possible which ensure that these resources reach end users in less developed regions in the old and new Member States and are not refunded to the rich countries."@en1
