lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I too should like to congratulate Mrs Krehl on her excellent report on the proposal for a Council decision on Community strategic guidelines. The report was a vital factor in the Council welcoming a number of Parliament's positions, on issues such as sustainable development, the urban dimension, equal opportunities and renewable energy sources. For this and other reasons, Mrs Krehl is justified in recommending that Parliament vote in favour. Once this Council decision has been adopted, the Member States will not have much time to submit their strategies for implementing the Structural Funds, incorporating these Community guidelines, to the Commission. It is regrettable that this tight schedule may adversely affect the implementation of the new cohesion policy as of January 2007. I should also like to say that I endorse the proposed guidelines and priorities, and in particular the idea that cohesion policy is a vital tool for implementing the Lisbon Strategy. Let us not forget, however, that the Lisbon Strategy is primarily based on the notion of promoting European competitiveness, as opposed to the notion of solidarity on which the cohesion policy is based. It will not always be easy to work with these two different approaches in tandem, but a balance needs to be struck. Accordingly, I have serious doubts about the idea of obliging the old Member States to set aside high percentages of the funds for meeting the Lisbon Strategy objectives, and, at the same time, to promote an effective cohesion policy, not least in the area of territorial cohesion. I trust, therefore, that the national strategies to be submitted succeed in achieving the best possible balance between competitiveness and solidarity."@en1
