"Mr President, Commissioners, cohesion policy is not simply a matter of solidarity: it is partly a means for us to create added value for Europe as a whole.
There is a good deal of expertise in our region as well as very strong potential based on natural resources, for example. We can only achieve these targets, which are also closely linked to Europe 2020, through an effective cohesion policy which covers the whole of Europe and has adequate funds in its budget for the period starting in 2014.
It will be important in the next financial period that we continue to try to level out the differences between countries with respect to GDP. In addition, it is absolutely vital that the present Objective 2 regions and the special challenges they face are taken into account. Furthermore, I would appeal to you, Commissioners, with reference to Article 174: sparsely populated regions, mountainous areas and islands must also be considered in the next period of cohesion policy, with respect to funding too, as has been the case hitherto, and with much success.
Finally, I wish to express my gratitude for having the opportunity to take part in this very important debate."@en1
