"Madam President, I support the Commission proposals on cohesion in its widest sense, namely statistical effect. I should like to ask Mrs Hübner if she could shed some light on rumours that discussions are taking place within the Council to interpret the Commission’s proposals on statistical effect to cover areas of Germany and Greece, but to exclude areas such as the Highlands, Islands and the south of Scotland?
It is a crying shame that the government of the United Kingdom cannot be anywhere near as constructive as the Commission proposals. The current UK Government is more intent on stabbing the Highlands, Islands and the south of Scotland in the back rather than fighting their corner. The Scottish Government has been notable only by its absence.
The principles of solidarity and cohesion across all 25 Member States of the European Union state that no region should be discriminated against. I would ask the Commission and the Council to reassure me that, despite the best efforts of the United Kingdom Government, no Scottish region will be discriminated against, and that the principles of statistical effect will apply as proposed by the Commission."@en1
