"Madam President, an effective EU cohesion policy is a prerequisite for the harmonious development of all regions of the EU, by helping to reduce economic, social and geographical inequalities. The ability to draw down resources, or in other words to make effective use of resources allocated from the Structural Funds and the Cohesion fund, varies from region to region. Unfortunately, the most disadvantaged regions, which need the funds the most, often lag behind in spending, because they lack the minimum financial resources necessary for cofinancing, as well as the human resources and administrative support.
The administrative and institutional resources of the public sector at national, regional and local level must be increased in a targeted way. The competent bodies should also consider new processes for boosting the qualifications of their employees.
I would like to end by saying that many countries have displayed an ability to draw down European funding much more effectively than in the past. My own country is an example of this, as it is drawing down funds much more effectively than it did when the previous government was in power."@en1
