"Madam President, in some states there would be no public investment without cohesion and, without investment, all of the drivers of the economy would soon come to a standstill and we would not be able even to speak of a struggle against the crisis. It is not just the poor Member States that benefit from a policy of solidarity; owing to the single market, so, too, do the rich Member States, which are significant suppliers of goods, services and know-how.
In this respect, I should like to draw your attention to the joint declaration of the Prime Ministers and representatives of the 15 states of the Friends of Cohesion of 5 October, following a meeting held in Bratislava in Slovakia. These included representatives of new and old Member States. The participants declared that the cohesion policy was a vital investment instrument for our countries. If there were to be a reduction in financing in this area, we would not be able to achieve the Council’s recently adopted ambitions and objectives or the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy. The heads of the 15 states agreed that there was no room for a reduction in cohesion policy funding. I believe that this strong message will carry weight in the final decision about the future of Europe."@en1
