"This report represents a major step forward in the definition of tomorrow’s European cohesion policy objectives. I am pleased that the less favoured regions are given due consideration in the allocation of structural funds. By giving priority support to areas where it is most needed, Europe is sending out a clear signal that it intends to further harmonise living standards in the EU. This is crucial if we are to prevent the development of a two-speed Europe, which would be synonymous with inequality among our citizens. This policy of solidarity must also facilitate the development of projects that will strengthen cross-border exchanges and cohesion throughout the territory. I therefore welcome the adoption of this text, which draws attention to, in particular, the importance of EU funds in financing the trans-European transport network and Motorways of the Sea. As far as the implementation of this policy is concerned, I voted in favour of this report, which calls for optimal use of available regional funds, In a sensitive budgetary context, where every euro counts, it is essential to foster synergies between different sources of funding."@en1
