"… has more than 250 regions in its 27 Member States. Not all of these regions are homogeneous. There are major differences between them in terms of wealth, development and standard of living. To reduce these differences and to make the regions more competitive, the European Union implemented a regional cohesion and convergence policy based on solidarity and endowed with the appropriate financial resources: the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the cohesion funds. Nevertheless, despite the progress made, it would be illusory to believe that these differences will disappear in 2013, or even in 2020. Consequently, it would be advisable to maintain the principles of cohesion policy and the accompanying financial resources beyond 2013. Naturally, this regional cohesion and convergence policy must be pursued alongside other strategies, such as the EU 2020 strategy. However, it must be pursued independently of this strategy and we must ensure that it does not appropriate or absorb any of the funds allocated to cohesion policy under the pretext of regionalising a specific objective of the EU 2020 strategy. Parliament must maintain a watchful eye on this, as it is essential for all regions, particularly those that are lagging behind, notably the outermost regions."@en1
