"While the European Commission, the Committee on Regional Policy and the Committee on Regional Development had already declared themselves in favour of the creation of a new category of intermediate regions under the 2014-2020 cohesion policy, the vote on this report was a new, essential step in this direction. Being in favour of this new category of regions, I therefore voted for this report and now call on the Council to move this issue forward. Indeed, creating a new category for those regions with per capita GDP between 75% and 90% of EU GDP would enable them, with the budget remaining constant, to address current challenges better, particularly in terms of employment, competitiveness and social cohesion, at a time when they are suffering the consequences of the economic crisis or facing structural difficulties hampering their development. Fifty or so regions would be affected, including 11 regions in France alone. Another important point is that this report recommends simplifying controls and procedures with a view to improving the effectiveness of EU funds and reducing the red tape that often prevents small companies and organisations from benefiting from these funds."@en1
