lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, all six reports which we are debating are important in that they reflect the present situation in terms of regional policy and describe the model and priorities for the period after 2013. secondly, the lack of uniformity as regards the regional models of organisation of the Member States; thirdly, the need to divide best practice criteria into mandatory and optional criteria; and fourthly, the need to take account of successful methods already being applied so that they can be defined as best practice. Two words on the report by Mr van Nistelrooij on the Green Paper, to highlight the good work he has done and to point out that the rapporteur rightly stresses the need for public consultation, so that we can find a commonly acceptable definition of territorial cohesion, and the need to approach areas with special characteristics in such a way that territorial cohesion also covers these areas in the best possible way. Congratulations to all the rapporteurs on their work. I should like to comment in particular on the report by Mrs Krehl on best practice in the field of regional policy, for which I was the rapporteur for the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, and underline the very good work by my fellow Member. This report presents the basic obstacles to the correct use of the Structural Funds and how they can be overcome, using a series of criteria to classify certain projects and actions as best practice and referring to the lack of a commonly acceptable definition of best practice. When talking of best practice, I consider it extremely important that amendments were included in the report such as: the need to strengthen small and medium-sized enterprises and to link regional policy with industry and science; measures to retain the population, especially the young generation, in their regions and to provide care for working parents; and the smooth integration of immigrants. At the same time, when we talk of best practice in regional policy, we need to take account of: firstly, the existence of geographical and demographic peculiarities in regions;"@en1
