lpv:translated text	". Mr President, it is appropriate to have a joint debate on how to derive real and measurable benefit from EU regional policy programmes. Channelling the EU’s regional policy funds into projects which help improve development in more disadvantaged regions, as well as economic growth and competitiveness throughout the EU, is the background to the guidelines to be drawn up. I wish in particular to thank the rapporteur for addressing this challenge and making a vibrant addition to the strategy document on Parliament’s behalf. It is quite right to be unbending when it comes to certain important principles. For that reason I am in favour of clawing back funds that have already been paid to the regions and Member States, if necessary, unless important key principles relating to European Union policy, such as sustainable development, equality, non-discrimination and the implementation of environmental legislation have been taken into account satisfactorily in the programmes. On the whole, it is important to concentrate the dwindling funds that are available in such a way that the outcome is use of aid that is as effective as possible and achievement of European added value. An important aspect of this is the channelling of aid, for example, to sustainably renewable energy sources. Finally, I would like to emphasise the importance of another matter. How might we administer regional projects by reducing bureaucracy, all the while ensuring that there is adequate financial control and supervision? Many projects unfortunately do not get implemented because the bureaucracy is more expensive than implementing the project itself."@en1
