lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, one of the main problems arising in this whole issue is that there is not any legal sanction from Europe to ensure that Member States adhere to the excellent concept of additionality. I think we must look in detail at that problem, and we need also better coordination between DGs on this issue. Additionality is concept, and it is up to you to ensure that it works effectively in Member States. We understand as well, of course, the problems you are facing concerning the overlapping of programmes, creating problems of continuity for you. Verification is another matter that needs to be tackled with Member States, because they are guilty as well. We understand your problems, that they are not providing for you sufficient data in good time, especially with Objectives 2, 3 and 4, to enable you to ensure that the system works more effectively. One of the worst offenders in this connection is the UK. No additional money has been built into the budget of our Welsh Assembly. This is clear non-compliance. The European Parliament and the European Union admit that our nation of Wales is poor and yet the UK government, not only the Labour government, has not complied with additionality. It is all very well for my colleague Jonathan Evans to imply that his party is not guilty. For eighteen long years the concept of additionality was not complied with by his government either. I think some momentum is being lost, Mr President. I was talking to councils in Wales yesterday. They need this scheme to go ahead. It is in line with the excellent principle of cohesion, and we ask the Commission to adhere to that and to assist the poorest regions in the European Union."@en1
