lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I congratulate the rapporteur on this very important report. The RETT committee amendments are in line with the conclusions of the Musotto report, particularly on the need for a cohesion policy which will improve existing and future disparities between European regions in an enlarged Europe. In this context, I would highlight and support Amendment 12 which recognises the need for a generous phasing-out period for those regions which may no longer qualify for Objective 1 support but which may still need this level of funding. My own peripheral region has received only 10% of all EU funding to Ireland over the past 30 years and is therefore still seriously under-developed in terms of infrastructure. I cannot, however, support paragraph 16, nor part of paragraph 17. I believe they could lead to a by-passing of national government responsibilities and duties. Finally, in the context of enlargement, the EU must ensure adequate aid for family farmers – the backbone of our rural communities – and, in addition, specific aid to young farmers to ensure the survival of our rural communities and our agricultural sector."@en1
