"I would like to thank the Commissioner for coming so frequently to Parliament to discuss her proposals with us. I would like in particular to thank Mrs Krehl for her work to bring some improvements to the Commission’s original proposal, particularly in regard to partnership, the role of cities and their hinterlands, civil society, access for the disabled and the environment. I must, however, reiterate concerns that I have raised repeatedly about earmarking, which remains central to the Commission’s guidelines. It has been and will continue to be used at Member State level to downgrade much of what Parliament has sought to do and what people have spoken about here this evening. It champions Lisbon over Gothenburg and some elements of Lisbon over others.
In Ireland, at present, there is another concern, unrelated to the guidelines, which I take this opportunity to raise. Namely, that in the future ‘Peace Programme’ funding will be distributed in a way contrary to equality measures and equality provisions. I hope to speak to the Commissioner further about this.
We need to remember the original reasons for these funds and programmes and to look at them again in the mid-term review. As Mr Beaupuy reminded us, we in Ireland, north and south, experienced great benefits and great strides with the help of those funds. We have to remember our solidarity and allow other areas to do the same in the future."@en1
