". I voted against this report on post-2013 cohesion policy. The report does contain sound proposals in relation to improving the effectiveness of spending, for example with regard to cutting red tape, to financial control and to taking a more results-oriented approach to this policy through the use of pre-determined objectives and indicators. In my opinion, however, drawing up the line to be followed in future could also have been the opportunity to critically examine whether the financial flows in question actually need to go via the EU. I take the view that the cohesion policy and its funds should be restricted to the poorest regions in the least prosperous Member States and that the rich Member States should not, in principle, be considered for these funds (with the exception of projects under Objective 3, where EU activity has added value in terms of bringing about transnational territorial cooperation). Slimming down the policy in this way would mean that the contributions from the richer Member States would be reduced. They would then be able to invest the money saved in areas in their own countries that demand extra attention, without these money flows having to go via the EU."@en1
