lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, following the long months of endless negotiations on the financial perspective, we now have a definitive proposal for a regulation on the structural funds. Even so, one must admit that these documents represent a compromise that emerged with great difficulty though the competing currents of national interests. I should therefore like to commend the rapporteurs, especially Mr Hatzidakis and Mr Olbrycht, who led the most difficult part of the discussion, for their efforts, for their helpfulness and for their ability to take on board the interests of all those taking part. I personally believe that if the people are to identify with the EU, they need to be made fully aware of the contribution in the individual Member States. The issue of housing is one of the most pressing issues in the pecking order of living needs. Unless high-quality, safe housing can be delivered, people cannot work properly. I am therefore pleased that in the framework of negotiations with the Council and the Commission, we were able to push through our amendments relating to the eligibility of spending in the area of social housing renovations. I also believe it is crucial to pave the way for higher investment in the health system. The obvious rule that only healthy people can be economically active applies here. As a former mayor, I also welcome the emphasis placed by the Commission on the urban dimension of structural policy, which is stronger in the new legislation. Ultimately, these are our cities, and they have a better idea of what activities and projects should be supported for the end users’ benefit. I am afraid, however, that the urban dimension and the partnership principle will be upheld only on paper. In the case of the Czech Republic, I know how unwilling the State is to invite our cities to take decisions on the form that operational programmes will take – and this applies to the regions too. I therefore believe it would be beneficial for the Commission to analyse the extent to which the urban dimension is achieved in the individual Member States."@en1
