lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as shadow rapporteur I wanted to say a few words on the Natural Disasters Agreement. We started discussions with differences between Parliament, the Council and the Commission. And indeed, there are also differences between the political groups within this Parliament. So it is a huge achievement but we managed to get a common position in Parliament and then a compromise agreement with the Council. Now, of course, it is important that the money goes to Italy as soon as possible, so the people there can benefit from these Structural Funds. I also wanted to say a few words on the future of cohesion policy. I want to thank the rapporteur for her report and the Commissioner for her excellent words. I think we in this Parliament can actually learn something from our discussions on the national disasters issue. We were much stronger in those negotiations because we were united and therefore we also need to be united in our position on the future of cohesion policy. If we are united and speak with one voice it will be much more difficult for others to ignore us. I would say that, at this stage, we should not be talking about detailing too much. Detail can come much later, because at the moment there is so much on which we can agree with, we need to agree an adequate budget cohesion policy, that all regions should get something, that there should be more for poorer Member States. We should agree on simplification, we should agree that there should be a greater focus on performance, but the main thing today is to agree this report and to start the fight for the future of cohesion policy."@en1
