"Mr President, I too should like to sing the praises of Mr Krehl's report and the results that have now been incorporated in the directive, including those achieved in the past two and a half years by Mrs Hübner in the debate at European level. I am in favour of earmarking; we should be able to admit to this in this Chamber, and I am the first to do so. This also means, though, that we can eliminate the noncommittal dimension and fragmentation to the left and right in policy. In doing so, we can update the cohesion policy to include it in a new agenda: that of Lisbon. The emphasis is shifting from less concrete and less asphalt to training our people in knowledge society. We will, in the next 20 years, need to focus on cut-throat competition at world level. Central will then be the role of Parliament in this new era, with an interim review in 2009-2010. What we can then look forward to is agriculture being weighed up against cohesion policy and against Europe’s external role in the world. The focus will then be even more on the policy’s added value. It is because of that role that in the committee, I pledged my support to the amendment tabled by the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance that looks to enhance Parliament’s role during reassessment. I am also asking the Commissioner and the European Commission whether we will have sufficient information at our disposal in order to be able to hold a proper debate on the financial reprioritisation. I am asking you for information about what the nation states are now doing. I sense a reluctance among our Member States to report adequately, and I regard that as a real disgrace. They are given the instruments and should respond accordingly. It is true that the new synthesis for the new era and the new financial proportions will require a significantly reassessed policy, as well as a permanent role for the regions and the towns in the cohesion policy."@en1
