"The Galliga Polledo report devotes much attention to the Europe 2020 programme. I believe that earmarking significant amounts of money for the objectives of this programme may result in a drop in funding for programmes which are important for European cohesion and development, such as the cohesion fund. The outcomes show that this fund has been the most effective tool to date for accomplishing the goals enshrined in the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty of Lisbon. It is therefore important for its funding to be increased. Many European countries have been severely affected by the economic crisis and for them, the cohesion fund is now a driving force making it possible to fight unemployment proactively and to mobilise regions. On the other hand, it is important for the EU to provide financial support for energy projects and innovation. These two areas of investment are the key to the rapid growth of the European Union. At present, two thirds of energy resources are imported from countries outside the EU, mainly Russia. This entails significant capital outflow beyond our borders, and we should therefore earmark more funds for supporting infrastructure investments which allow for a diversification of supply and a subsequent drop in prices, including the Nabucco pipeline, which is the most important project in terms of diversification. The report also fails to set out any clear guidelines regarding support for shale gas exploration in the near future. The EU must not forget that making wise investments today in sources of energy will mean capital savings tomorrow."@en1
