lpv:translated text	"Cohesion policy is a guarantee for improving our socio-economic environment, which helps reduce disparities between the levels of development of the regions, and facilitates the pursuit of modernisation and sustainable growth. It is an effective and efficient tool for responding to socio-economic challenges brought about by the financial crisis. In order to reduce the disparities between the less developed and highly developed EU regions, the Member States must be encouraged to improve the absorption capacity of Structural and Cohesion Funds. The Member States must participate more actively in the implementation of cohesion policy programmes. In pursuing these objectives, it is important to ensure that projects are selected and properly implemented without any delays. Consequently, there must be an efficient control and monitoring mechanism, and a reduction in bureaucracy and the administrative burden. It should be noted that special attention should be paid and financing should be allocated to transport, which is a crucial factor in implementing territorial, economic and social cohesion. I am disappointed that investment in the rail sector is below the level of investment in the road sector. Moreover, the delay in investment in the rail sector is doing enormous damage to the implementation of the TEN-T network. It should be noted that for small businesses the Structural Funds are a crucial tool for economic stimulus. It is essential to use the opportunities offered by these funds to establish favourable operating conditions for SMEs, improving financing opportunities, and promoting participation in various innovative projects and cooperation at local and regional levels."@en1
