".
Obviously there is no question about our support for the essential participation of local and regional authorities or other public authorities, social and economic organisations and the general public in the definition of objectives and programmes and in the implementation and control of the use of Community structural funds within each Member State, given that we have always argued for this.
However, we cannot allow other objectives to be pursued under cover of this legitimate aspiration, such as, for example, the merger within the ‘future cohesion policy for the period after 2013’ of the various Community funds (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund and European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development). This proposal could jeopardise what should be the central objective of the Community budget, in other words its function to redistribute wealth among the ‘cohesion’ countries and the ‘wealthy’ countries, particularly since it would eliminate funds which are only intended for the former (in addition to jeopardising Community funding of ‘common policies’ such as agriculture and fisheries).
We cannot agree, either, with the proposal’s encouragement of ‘public-private partnerships’, which are an instrument used to privatise public services that are essential and strategic for the people and the socioeconomic development of each Member State."@en1
