"I voted in favour, because despite the problems with using money from the Cohesion Fund, current cohesion policy should continue to be pursued consistently, in view of its long-term objective. Cohesion of the Union means effective use of the potential of economically backward regions and growth by using the effect of scale throughout the Union. Hence the concentration on investments in communications infrastructure, which will make it easier for the single market to function, and on ecology. In the new financial perspective the funds must not be frittered away on sectoral projects.
There is also a need for an improvement in cohesion within Member States and for better use of financial resources earmarked for infrastructure investments related to climate change, such as hydrotechnical constructions. Poor use is being made in Poland, for example, of money from the Cohesion Fund earmarked for public communications projects, such as railways, trams and the Internet. Attention needs to be paid to making more effective use of resources by recycling. The percentage of Union resources allocated to thermomodernisation is also too low, particularly in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. It is in the interest of the Union for the divide between the important centre and the developmentally backward peripheries to disappear, so that the peripheral regions will not just be market outlets and reservoirs of workers."@en1
