lpv:translated text	"Mr President, today’s debate is the culmination of two years’ work on structural fund reform. Today we can say that, following difficult negotiations concerning the Financial Perspective and the entire legislative package on cohesion policy, we have achieved a good compromise. For the years 2007 – 2013, nearly 36% of the European Union’s budget has been earmarked for structural funds. This, in fact, amounts to EUR 308 billion. This figure is smaller than we had hoped, but it does provide a basis for drawing up long-term development plans, something that is particularly important for the poorest regions in Europe. New regulations will facilitate the pursuing of a simpler cohesion policy that is closer to the citizens and that takes into account the problems of the new Member States in particular. These problems include VAT eligibility criteria, municipal issues, creating equal opportunities for disabled people and taking their needs into account. Creating territorial cohesion in a European Union where there are great differences in levels of development will not be an easy task. Although we already have a legal framework and earmarked funds, we still need the wholehearted commitment of our national and local governments in order to make the best use of the unique opportunity we have created together to foster regional development in the EU. I would like to congratulate all the rapporteurs. This is another considerable step forward in the history of Europe."@en1
