"At present, we are giving almost one third of our budget to the EU’s cohesion policy in the 2007-2013 period. Under a number of new proposals, some of this budget would be redirected after 2013 towards fulfilling the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy. However, in the Committee of the Regions, representatives of the cities and the regions warn us against making a significant reduction in contributions to regional policy. In my opinion, we should pay very serious attention to their objective arguments. It is, for example, clear to us that we must continue to support these regions, which currently fail to achieve even 75% of the average gross domestic product of the European Union. However, the financial resources allotted to them should be mainly directed as a matter of priority towards constructing basic infrastructure, supporting human resources or employment, greater investment in science, research and innovation, and the target of green growth. We should also try to improve links between regional and local structures and to reduce the bureaucratic burden. Through a well considered, balanced regional policy of this kind, we might finally also help to make the new Europe 2020 strategy truly successful."@en1
