"Mr President, Podkarpacie – the region I represent – is a region of wonderful, ambitious, hard-working people, a place where many energetic businesses operate. New initiatives are appearing, such as Aviation Valley, but at the same time, Podkarpacie is one of the most poorly developed areas in the European Union. Our problems are not the result of a lack of willingness, but of structural and infrastructural limitations, which, with the help of a variety of programmes, we are trying to eliminate. I would like to stress that, as part of our efforts, we are not asking for charity, but for support for our initiatives. We, too, want the competitiveness of the European economy to rise, and we want solutions which will help protect our climate.
However, we also want the change in priority of financing to be gradual, not sudden, because that would mean leaving the weakest regions to look after themselves. It is very important that the cohesion policy be realised by the regions, because such a solution brings the best effects. I would also like to note that the cohesion policy carries with it a very important message for the citizens. It shows that Europe is united and that it is worth participating in this exceptional project."@en1
