"This report, drafted by Mr Theurer, is on the European Union’s future cohesion policy, taking into account the experience of absorbing structural and cohesion funds in the contexts of previous EU aid frameworks. The principle underlying the uses to which structural funding is put is improving the lives of the public. However, the Member States have encountered many problems putting it to use. From delays with the transfer of funds – obliging institutions to turn to banks, whose interest is not covered, to cover their commitments to companies – to excessive bureaucracy, with complex, incoherent procedures, rule changes, etc., and insufficient funds to cover the national contribution, the process is made more difficult. The EU should support those countries that do not manage to absorb the sums set aside for them owing to a lack of knowledge by sending a team of experts. I therefore welcome the adoption of this report and hope it will contribute to these funds being put to better use by simplifying the rules, since they are fundamental in helping disadvantaged countries to develop and contribute to alleviating the regional asymmetries within the EU."@en1
