lpv:translated text	"The economic crisis has demonstrated the need for public action to support private activities that are in difficulty. The European Union’s cohesion policy plays an essential role in this regard. By providing financial support for those affected by the economic downturn, the Structural Funds constitute a lever with which to stimulate activity. Nonetheless, accessing European funding remains difficult for a number of potential beneficiaries. The procedures are complicated and the delays too long, even though the urgency of the crisis requires simple and rapid measures. As part of this concern for clarification, I welcome the Commission’s initiative aimed at simplifying the financial management of the Structural Funds. The various proposals are along the lines of a more effective cohesion policy, but one that does not have too pronounced an impact on the Community budget. I welcome this pragmatic approach. The Commission must not stop there, however. This reform, necessitated by the crisis situation, must be the first stage of a radical simplification of the way in which European funds are managed. Cohesion policy must become an instrument for more effective public intervention with a view to providing real support for economic activity."@en1
