lpv:translated text	"The President of the European Commission made certain comments last week – and a colleague has pointed this out today – to the effect that more Europe cannot be created with less money. Today, Commissioner, you have confirmed that the current Commission is maintaining the proposal of the previous Commission. I would add – to those people who are constantly claiming to be Europeanists – that less money means the renationalisation of the cohesion policy, which is equivalent to less Europe. Nevertheless, the Commission will probably soon propose amendments depending on how the negotiations develop. And I am sure that the Commission’s proposals will be based on the principle of balance. I would, therefore, like to ask the European Commission to review the aspects of its proposal which could lead to unfair results because of their lack of balance, Commissioner. Because I believe that to a certain extent that is what is happening at this point in the negotiations. In order to provide material for this debate – either endorsing it or rejecting it – I would call on the European Commission to make public in this House the information available to it on the impact on the fifteen Member States of the costs of enlargement – which, of course, is absolutely essential – because the intention to pay for the convergence requirements of our new partners at the expense of solidarity with the countries and regions of the existing States would be profoundly anti-European and harmful to our shared future. I shall end by expressing my support for the European Commission, provided that it maintains the Cohesion Policy as a fundamental pillar of European integration."@en1
