"Mr President, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, if we look at the aims of cohesion policy, it clearly has European added value. It demonstrates European solidarity by reducing regional asymmetries and contributing to economic, social and territorial cohesion. To be able to do that, therefore, it must have the necessary budget appropriation. Cohesion policy must also be flexible enough to address regional specificities, particularly those of the less-developed regions, and gross domestic product should be kept as the main eligibility criterion.
The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development needs to be coordinated with cohesion policy funds so as to raise efficiency and maximise results. I also endorse and call on the Commission to carry out an evaluation of the absorption of cohesion policy funds so that measures to improve the absorption rates of these funds can be adopted with the greatest urgency."@en1
