"I voted for the resolution on the cohesion policy in the outermost regions because any financial support under the cohesion policy is about solidarity, assistance where the need is greatest. On the other hand, however, I would like to ask why only the most remote islands should have special benefits. My country also forms part of the Schengen border, and the region from which I come is directly on the border, which gives it peripheral status. Therefore, it should also merit special attention. The crisis has also affected my region, which has one of the highest unemployment rates in Slovakia. Two-thirds of my region is spread out on the fertile soils of East Slovakian lowlands, and yet agricultural production is not competitive due to EU agricultural policy vis-à-vis the Eastern countries. I do not know whether this is supposed to constitute cohesion policy if the Eastern countries will be lagging behind until 2028, even though we have all the prerequisites for agricultural primary and secondary production. I therefore wish to bring to your attention the EU’s subsidy policy, especially since our country used to be self-sufficient in food production, but today the figure stands at only 48%."@en1
