"Mountains cover one third of the area of the country that I represent, Romania, and the inhabitants of mountain areas are disadvantaged compared to other people living in rural areas.
The proposals contained in the Ebner report are welcome and I strongly believe that a coherent EU strategy on mountain areas, which is essential and urgent, would contribute to a great extent to an improvement in living conditions in these areas.
At the same time, I would like to stress that better regulations are required, with equal urgency, as regards community funding for rural development.
For instance, Romanian authorities have launched various EAFRD-funded programmes supporting small enterprises and tourism. Small enterprises and boarding houses are particularly important for boosting mountain areas.
The guides for applicants for these measures, involving complex paperwork, were made public one day before the launch of the session, although they had been written in August.
This is a clear breach of the principle of providing fair and transparent information to potential beneficiaries.
I believe that EU legislation should provide for the avoidance of such situations, which render the EU’s financial effort useless."@en1
