lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the EU’s structural and cohesion funds were devised with the most vulnerable amongst our EU regions and citizens in mind. Our citizens need this money. That is why we fought for a higher share for the European Social Fund as the EU’s main tool to tackle poverty and unemployment, particularly youth unemployment. Education, vocational training and lifelong learning remain a critical priority. Regional disadvantages remain in terms of transport, energy infrastructure, sustainable urban development and improved IT and communications networks. However, to attach macro-economic conditions to the payment of structural funding is to go flatly against the very spirit and purpose behind it. The regions and the citizens whose vulnerable circumstances make them eligible for these funds are not to blame for national government breaches of the ever-tighter budgetary constraints imposed by the fiscal hawks at the Commission and the Council of Ministers."@en1
