"Mr President, in the next few months, we are going to have to discuss and decide upon the future organisation of the Structural Funds, which are essential for bringing us out of the crisis and tackling the Europe 2020 strategy.
I think that when the time comes, it will be important to learn from experience and uphold two decisions: the decision to maintain the European Social Fund (ESF) within the body of basic rules regulating the Cohesion Fund and cohesion policy, but also, at the same time, the decision to maintain the objectives, rules and budgets of the ESF without distorting them.
Why is this? It is because, ladies and gentlemen, the ESF needs to continue to provide training, and to prepare workers for entering the labour market and for social cohesion, as that is why it was created.
We need it now and we will need it in the next few years, and not only for building roads. This is because Europe’s main assets are its people, and if the EU wants to play a role and maintain its social model, it will have to continue to train its people. We cannot use our resources any better than if we use them for the purpose for which they were created. This does, however, have to be done within the overall structure, working in a balanced way with synergies within territorial cohesion policy."@en1
