"Mr President, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, today is an extremely important political day for the future of EU regional policy. This is for two reasons. The first is that this morning, we MEPs are joining forces and addressing our demands to the European Commission and the European ministers. We want to capitalise on our successes with this crucial policy and amend it as required to make it more accessible and more visible. We want a strong, well-financed policy that really helps to bring about economic development for all of our regions. We want simplified rules, and we do not just want to hear them talked about; we want them to be implemented for project leaders and potential beneficiaries. We want outermost towns and regions to receive special attention. I worked on this resolution when it was with the working group and Parliament’s Committee on Regional Development. I supported the needs of potential beneficiaries and succeeded in ensuring that they were taken into account and adapted to the needs expressed in our regions. I want a united and social Europe, founded on a conquering, ambitious Europe. The second extremely important event of today is this afternoon’s action, where 140 regions will come together and their 140 regional presidents, together with MEPs, representing 85% of the EU population, will embark on a symbolic march to the European Commission – we shall see each other later, Commissioner – to demonstrate the extent to which all of us, the regions and Parliament, are aware of the importance of this cohesion policy for business, citizens, the social sphere and the economy, and we shall be united this afternoon in demonstrating the extent to which this first strong political campaign is a campaign of the people, a clear signal to the European Commission, directly via the regions."@en1
