lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this debate is our opportunity for a proper discussion on the issues facing us. My question is quite simple. It is clear that enlargement will not just mean problems for the struggling regions which we are attempting to embrace in the Union. At the same time, if in this case the single market works, other regions will also reap the benefit. Now, in all honesty, I am a little concerned about this reasoning on averages, for it may be that the problem of income distribution will highlight regions which we could induce – although I do not know how – to contribute a little more to the overall financing of the system in view of the enlargement process. I therefore feel that it could well be appropriate to set rather more refined benchmarks for the cohesion policy and I continue to call for the implementation of the project to enlarge Europe to provide us with less rigid objectives and establish a more flexible scale, rather than necessarily tying us to this idea of a totally automatic process which sends the regions flying from category to category."@en1
