"Mr President, cohesion policy is a pillar of development policy. It is, indeed, this policy which contributes most to strengthening the identity of regions and local society. In my opinion, we go to two extremes here. Some would like to put a bit too much into the policy, while others want to restrict it too much. Surely, the most important objective of the policy is sustainable development in a variety of areas.
Cohesion policy must be the same for both urban and rural areas. Let us remember that the Union, after such a major enlargement, is greatly differentiated. Ensuring equal opportunities for development is an important task. Contemporary challenges, which we have to face up to at the same time, are the fight against the economic crisis, the unfavourable demographic trend and, finally, climate change. One thing is certain: there is a need to continue the cohesion policy and to adapt it to the present challenges."@en1
