lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, decentralised cooperation should be seen as one element of sustainable development, which values the role of local operators, provides incentives for consolidating civil society and promotes partners, not only . We must give our full support to the Commission proposal examined in the report. I must emphasise, however, that the issue of decentralised cooperation should be addressed more consistently. For example, this proposal should have been presented some time ago. I must point out that, at the time of the first extension, when I was asked to draw up a report, the presentation was already extremely late. Issues relating to the financial framework must be emphasised: predicting an increase undoubtedly sends out a positive message, perhaps the only one possible, but is still far from adequate, mainly because we cannot confine ourselves to making funds available. We must also make a more serious effort to increase understanding of this type of aid, so that it is not always the same people who benefit from it, such as those who, as a result of having better connections, are better positioned to have the necessary information and explanations. Whether or not more candidates are put forward depends largely on us, on the way in which we disseminate information, on our making the application processes less bureaucratic. The Commission delegations could give some support at the stage of submitting applications. I wish, lastly, to congratulate Mr Zimmerling on the work he has undertaken and to support the amendments that have been tabled, in particular those concerned with extending the range of potential beneficiaries – and here I would underline all those that I mentioned – and with strengthening networks operating in the field of human rights and democratisation processes."@en1
