"Cohesion policy could be a symbol of a European mentality, because it is based on open solidarity extending to every region of Europe, especially if the funds are accompanied by regulations that allow even the poorest regions of Europe to use the development opportunities provided.
Two years ago ten new Member States joined the European Community, typically with poorer regions. The regions in these countries have followed a different development path to those in our Western Member States. As a result, they also have different problems which we have had to solve. Through the work we have done over the past two years, which have included major debates and battles, we have managed to create flexible, effective legislation, which can also resolve the new regions' problems. We have every reason to celebrate this agreement.
If we win the vote tomorrow we will be able to outline an unprecedented prospect for every region in Europe. We can create jobs, we can build roads, we can renovate housing. In fact, we can start building a new Europe, and we can bring Eastern and Western Europe closer together not only politically, but also in terms of the quality of life of our citizens."@en1
