"I voted in favour of this report, together with my group, because I believe that, overall, the cohesion policy is a good one. We must, however, note that EU State primacy has meant that it is the States with no significant regional problems that have benefited most of all, such as Ireland and Portugal. Furthermore, the concept of region, which is often technocratic, applies to situations that are often entirely different from a human perspective. Nations such as Catalonia and the Basque Country, therefore, often contain regions which are not recognised as such by the respective States that could benefit from these funds and are unfairly excluded. Lastly, it should be pointed out that cross-border policy not only brings together different nations, but sometimes also brings together fragments of the same nation that have been unjustly separated."@en1
