"Mr President, in my speech I shall focus on the practical implementation of regional and structural policy, which is a key element in successful enlargement as well as preparations for it. The Commission and the applicant countries must prepare for enlargement in a way that avoids needless delays in the start-up of programmes and so that the money set aside for these preparations can be used effectively. The Structural Funds must also be used in a way that is as uncomplicated and efficient as possible. There is much room for improvement here, which is evident, for example, from Mr Turco’s report.
Aid must be allocated and staggered so that the funds get to the local players as directly as possible and primarily to the poorest regions of all. Structural work must adopt the principle of phasing in increased batches of aid. It is reasonable to use the Cohesion Fund in the early stages, but in the future the programme-based financing share must be increased.
Skills, know-how, new technology and good levels of networking between SMEs and regional players are essential in implementing effective regional policy and promoting the positive impact of enlargement. The particular challenge is not so much the adoption of Community legal provisions but their implementation and monitoring."@en1
