lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, enlargement constitutes a historic opportunity for the EU and, therefore, sufficient means must be provided to cope with the cost of an enlarged EU and for providing economic and social cohesion. The financial consequences of enlargement must be distributed in a balanced way, but some Member States continue to experience significant disparities and may pay a disproportionate share of the costs. The motivation for and the intention of the Structural Funds and the EU’s regional policy was to assist regions and countries in overcoming disparities and in developing their social and economic potential. Could the Commissioner confirm if this motivation will continue to inform the EU’s regional policy in the future? Does she regard the means to be sufficient to cope with it? There are 68 million people across the EU who continue to live in poverty, according to the European Anti-Poverty Network. This remains a huge challenge for us."@en1
