lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to express, first of all, our commitment to regional development policy. We consider the region to be the appropriate level at which to structure European economic policies. Indeed, it has a natural ability to withstand globalisation and, consequently, to sustain employment and ensure its fair distribution throughout Europe. Secondly, territorial cohesion policy must, in our view, form part of the long-term future. The threshold of 75% of GDP will naturally be renewed in 2014. However, do people think that if the poorest regions pass the 75% threshold in future, European territorial cohesion will be complete? Can the gap between 75% for the poorest and 150% or more for the richest – twice as much – be taken to represent the fulfilment of Europe’s objectives in territorial cohesion terms? We should therefore take a long-term view of European cohesion policy. The threshold of 90% seems to me to be an objective that we can actually set today, while at the same time clearly prioritising those who are still under 75%. Finally, with regard to the priorities of this policy: many people have spoken of social cohesion, particularly through the European Social Fund (ESF), of the fight against global warming and of territorial cooperation beyond borders, which is also a priority of the Commission; I shall not dwell on this matter. I would like to focus on the promotion of Europe’s diversity. It is expressed primarily at the level of the regions and their cultural heritage, and it is an asset that will be taken into account and emphasised within the context of regional development policy."@en1
