"Mr President, I agree that regional policy is the lever for better cohesion and solidarity in the Community. The present international economic crisis has bared its teeth. It has caused numerous inequalities and pressures, especially among vulnerable groups. It has increased unemployment, inequalities and social upheaval at national and regional level. However, the present global economic crisis is also a challenge. Community solidarity urgently needs to be strengthened in order to achieve a proper, integrated European regional cohesion policy which will set high priorities and safeguard proper infrastructures and closer cross-border cooperation through exchanges of best practices. We say ‘no’ to discrimination, ‘no’ to renationalisation, ‘no’ to bureaucracy, ‘no’ to a lack of transparency, ‘no’ to the secret disposal of funds and the abolition of Objective 2, which will harm Southern Europe and the Mediterranean. We say ‘yes’ to the fair distribution of Community funds, to the participation of local authorities, to the strengthening of small and medium-sized enterprises, to proper reform, which must be carried out so that there is proper funding of actions in keeping with the objectives of Europe for 2010. Finally, we say ‘yes’ to special treatment for remote areas, especially in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean."@en1
