I want first of all to thank Mrs Krehl for her report and for the open and inclusive way in which it was produced. There are some elements I disagree with, but the report goes some way towards bringing a measure of social and environmental balance into the strategic guidelines.
It is important for the European Parliament to argue strongly for a more balanced set of guidelines and explicitly to reject earmarking and the thinking behind that approach, which would only compound the imbalances inherent now in Lisbon and in the present Commission guidelines. The championing of Lisbon over Gothenburg and of some elements of Lisbon over others in the Commission’s original guidelines is worrying. We must direct the guidelines in a way that reflects the principal function of cohesion policy and the holistic development of Europe’s regions, not just business growth.
I particularly welcome paragraph 9 of Mrs Krehl’s report, with its demand that sound partnership between all parties be enshrined in the regulations and guidelines and its support for the strengthening of civil society. I was particularly glad to hear Commissioner Piebalgs recognise that here this evening. Thanks once again and congratulations to Mrs Krehl on her report."@en1
