lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the most recent enlargement, through which the EU gained ten new Member States, at the same time brought to the Community deeper differences in economic development, a geographical shift of inequality to the east, a doubling of socio-economic differences and a drop in average GDP. This is in spite of the fact that the new Member States actually have some of the highest rates of economic growth. With the impending accession of Romania and Bulgaria, whose GDP stands at a third of the current EU average, I believe that we now need the strategic guidelines on cohesion more than ever. European solidarity is referred to in the preamble of the Treaty on the European Union, which specifies that the Community will strengthen its economic and social cohesion with a view, above all, to reducing differences in the level of development between different regions. The EU earmarks over a third of its budget to reducing differences in development between different regions, as well as inequalities in the standard of living. Through the fund, the EU is contributing towards the development of regions that are lagging behind, the restructuring of industrial regions and the revitalisation of neglected urban areas. The reform of cohesion policy should offer the opportunity for greater effectiveness, transparency and political accountability. In the next programming period, cohesion policy must be clearer and more coherent and I personally expect it to become more goal-orientated and focused. Concerning the countries in receipt of support from the Cohesion Fund or the Structural Funds, it is necessary to take account of enlargement and to distinguish between the various kinds of action supported by the funds."@en1
