"The European cohesion policy must be in harmony with the Europe 2020 strategy, and therefore I also supported this report, which is also based on the strategy. In order to make Europe’s peripheral countries more competitive and to transform restrictive conditions into growth potential and opportunities, Europe must make a greater contribution to the development of these regions. I am extremely concerned by proposals to reduce foreseen budgetary allocations for peripheral countries and regions with low population density in the 2014-2020 budgetary period, which conflicts with the objectives specified in the Europe 2020 strategy. In order to ensure that peripheral countries are able to use existing support, cofinancing rates for the outermost regions should be 85% for all support intended for them, and the budget implementation deadline should also be extended, or else some ‘smart official’ will once again report that the peripheral countries have not shown any interest in the support offered, and the funds will become a budget surplus. If the criteria and bureaucratic procedures are too difficult, we must review them, instead of casually abandoning the development of Europe’s peripheral countries; in other words, European unity."@en1
