lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to join others in congratulating Mr Schapira on his excellent report. In this report, above all, he puts his finger on the essential role that local authorities must play in development on account of their proximity and of their capacity for dialogue with local populations, and also on account of their knowledge of the territory. Everywhere in the world, one fact is clear: the region, whatever name it is given – province, governorate, département, to put it plainly, the lowest infra-state level – is becoming recognised as a significant entity in relation to spatial planning and development. In many countries, moreover, urban units are themselves organised into regions. Regions, therefore, are already essential partners. It must be pointed out, for example, that EUR 35 million are given each year by French regions to Francophone regions in the world. That is why last week in Marseilles – this is information that I wanted to make public and to pass on to you – an international organisation of regions was set up. In other words, 12 international networks grouping together regions in five continents irrespective of their characteristics – Francophone, peripheral, maritime or otherwise – are in the process of organising themselves into a network, the world regions Forum. They are waiting for the European Union, Commissioner, so that they can have access to direct international funding, so that they can play a part in setting up national integrated programmes and in the European Development Fund, and so that they have the right to those programmes that will be theirs."@en1
