"Cohesion policy is the best proof of the solidarity which exists in the European Union. Poland, and in particular poor regions like the one I represent – Lubelskie Voivodship – have used these funds for rapid development. Today it is hard to imagine what our region would be like without EU support. It is a pity that there is a lack of information about the specific effects of spending this money, because in fact it is research evaluating the way in which the whole region has used a variety of programmes, and not evaluation of individual programmes, which should suggest the way forward for cohesion policy in future years.
Cohesion policy is a pillar of the Europe 2020 strategy, so the money allocated to cohesion policy in the next common financial framework should not be less than the amounts made available in the current programming period. We are currently looking for resources for new objectives which are to increase Europe’s competitiveness. We should not, however, look for these at the cost of cities and regions. In the report of the Policy Challenges Committee and in the Pieper report the European Parliament has sent a strong message to the governments of the Member States and the Council: do not tamper with cohesion policy."@en1
