"The Commission proposal involves the introduction of a temporary option, to which Member States with severe cash-flow difficulties could turn in order to finance necessary growth and employment promotion measures designed to combat the crisis and eligible under the European Social Fund. That would allow Member States to ask the Commission for 100% reimbursements for 2009 and 2010, so that national cofinancing would not be needed during this period.
This is a measure that we have been advocating, so as to make the full utilisation of EU funds possible at a time when they are most needed. The Council’s position is different, however, and merely points out that ‘an additional pre-financing instalment [...] is needed for the Member States worst hit by the crisis’.
The document on which Parliament is voting takes the side of the Council position, which we believe is more ambiguous and less favourable to the Member States worst hit by the crisis. We believe, however, that ‘to extend the deadline for the calculation of the automatic decommitment of the annual budget commitment relating to the 2007 total annual contribution to improve the absorption of funds committed for certain operational programmes’ is a positive point."@en1
