"Mr President, first of all I want to thank the rapporteur, Mr Janowski, for an excellent report. I would say that regional policy is one of the core policies for us in Europe, and housing policy, as part of regional policy, is also obviously very important, as has been mentioned here. As with innovation, it helps to keep regions strong and vital.
It is important, of course, to consider regional policy not just the business of the European Union and nation states, but above all as something connected with the welfare and happiness of people and citizens. People must always lie at the heart of European policy.
In my opinion we have to try and see these issues as a whole, and our objective must be to guarantee equal opportunities based on sustainable development in housing and innovation all over Europe. This means we need in particular to look after our areas of sparse population, including peripheral areas, so that they too can be involved in development and receive their own share of innovations, and so that the people in them can also live a good, balanced and happy life."@en1
