lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to start by congratulating Mr Pohjamo on his work and his initiative, for I believe that we are not dealing with a joint report here. This is an own-initiative report by Parliament in which we are attempting to introduce new ideas that will improve the management of the Structural Funds at a crucial time for both the European Union as a whole and for the future of this Fund. This report has arisen from the obvious need to improve the management of regional policy, as a whole, and that of the Structural Funds, which needs to be managed in a more flexible way. It also responds to the widespread sense of unease in the European Parliament. The room for manoeuvre and involvement of this Parliament when the Commission presents its reports is practically zero. Therefore, we believe that it is time to give both the Funds, on the one hand, and Parliament on the other, a greater political role to play. It is time to ensure that the delays which currently afflict the management of these important Funds are not ignored; it is time to correct them and to add new features. We need to differentiate between the budgetary efficiency of the Funds and their real effectiveness. Flexibility is, without a doubt, a factor that will increase the real impact of the Structural Funds on society and on the greater cohesion that we are all looking for. We need to introduce new measures for the assessment of these Funds and more socioeconomic parameters, good practices, greater visibility and, of course, better monitoring of the principle of additionality. We believe that initiatives such as this, which will hopefully be approved in tomorrow’s vote, will bring new ideas that will improve the management of the Structural Funds and regional policy as a whole. This will ensure that we arrive at the new Agenda 2006 with a major element of added value for everyone."@en1
