"I offer my congratulations for the excellent and complex work carried out by the rapporteur, for which I voted. During the 2000-2006 programming period, Member States established forms of assistance, identified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, by setting up specific funds and through repayable assistance delivered via other instruments. Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 does not define whether assistance is actually repayable or non-repayable and contains rather narrow forms of financial engineering. Although repayable assistance does not appear to be covered by the regulation, Member States continued to use repayable forms of assistance, mindful of the positive experience of the past programming period. I agree with the spirit of the report, which aims to provide clarity about the legality of an existing legal practice. Legal clarity and certainty should be ensured as regards repayable assistance and financial engineering instruments and, in agreement with the rapporteur, I believe that additional reporting obligations of Member States should be limited. Finally, I am in favour of the use of Structural Funds to finance expenditure in respect of an operation comprising contributions to support repayable assistance."@en1
