"Social inclusion is a particularly important topic which is well integrated into regional policy. As we are all aware, it entails much more than simply job creation.
The resolution on the European Social Fund emphasises the role it plays in achieving the EU 2020 strategy objectives. Without regional policy instruments, this strategy has no chance of being successfully implemented at national, regional or local level. As a result, as long as regional policy and social policy are interconnected policies which operate successfully together, I believe that we should not agree, under any circumstances, to the separation of the European Social Fund from the Structural Funds.
Such a decision would pave the way for funds to be allocated on a sectoral basis, thereby creating an undesirable precedent for this.
The European Social Fund must remain part of the Structural Funds, especially as it has proven its effectiveness in every region of Europe, given that it is actually a key weapon in the battle against the economic crisis, in addition to the European Regional Development Fund.
We need a strong, well-funded EU regional policy in order to achieve social, economic and territorial cohesion. I therefore believe that the regional aspect must continue to enjoy its appropriate place as part of both the revised EU budget and the future budget.
We must reject any attempt at renationalisation. The regional policy is not a charity policy, but an EU policy intended for all regions, which will generate economic growth, innovation and competitiveness, making it an instrument available to every Member State. If we want solutions which are appropriate to the needs and realities which we are going to face in the future as well, we must maintain the same framework. By that, I mean both the basic principles and the sums allocated."@en1
