"Madam President, the Commission and the governments are now promising to reprogramme the Structural Funds, in order to support small and medium-sized enterprises and to create jobs. However, it should be remembered that, at the end of last year, the Commission also decided to suspend allocations from the Structural Funds to countries which did not meet their deficit or debt targets. One does not have to be a genius to realise that either the promise or the punishment will be forthcoming, but not both at the same time. As such, Commissioner, I would like to ask you a direct question: is the decision to suspend allocations from the Structural Funds still in force, or has it been frozen or cancelled? In other words, will Greece, Portugal, Ireland and other countries still be able to make use of the funds to which they are entitled, if they do not hit the targets imposed upon them by you and the Commission? Please answer this question, Commissioner. As you can imagine, we in Portugal are tired of promises."@en1
