lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we all know that the aim of the European Social Fund is to narrow the prosperity gap and promote economic and social cohesion. However, today, in the year for combating poverty, Europe is in recession, we have unemployment, we have businesses closing and, therefore, the attainment of this objective hangs in the balance. Commissioners, in my opinion, therefore, you should immediately revise the priorities of the European Funds, including the European Social Fund. However, Commissioners, I should like to say to you that we see the absurdities and paradoxes in your economic policies. In other words, you – the Commission, the IMF and the European Central Bank – have imposed a miserable memorandum on Greece, which cuts public spending, cuts wages, cuts incomes; at the same time, however, in response to my questions to the Commission about why there is a delay in the take-up of Community funds by Greece, the reply was: the inadequate liquidity of public finances; in other words, the essence of its political memorandum. Please could you explain to us, Commissioner, how Greece can increase take-up? Is there not an absurdity, a paradox in your economic policies?"@en1
