"Mr President, we are today discussing particularly important changes. They are important not only in terms of a response to the difficulties related to the financial crisis, but also because they may affect the nature of political cohesion in the period after 2013. Clearly, the introduction of such significant changes cannot be perceived solely as a temporary measure.
For the first time ever we have witnessed how the European Commission, acting in agreement with Parliament and the Council, has taken action that had long been the subject of debate and which had appeared very difficult. Essentially we have witnessed genuine simplification, genuine acceleration and of course a change of strategy through the inclusion of investment action in the area of energy saving measures. This sends out a very positive signal to the effect that we are able to react to the situation at the programming stage and not adhere dogmatically to principles laid down earlier.
The European Parliament tends to be perceived as a rather junior partner of the Council and the Commission. Nonetheless, this House is determined that its actions will demonstrate our readiness to cooperate in a swift response to the new challenges before us."@en1
