lpv:translated text	"Mr President, rapporteur, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, let me raise a few points. I found Commissioner Kroes’s commentary most fascinating; I am sure that what she said was all agreed with you. I have some questions in this regard. The Commissioner mentioned that it will be possible to consider drawing funding from the European Regional Development Fund for the promotion of broadband. I should like her to tell me how she envisages that this will take place. Will it be the subject of a communication? What will the criteria be? How is it to be announced? What procedure will be followed? Will it come under traditional State aid, according to the current definition, or does she envisage a special communication in this regard? If a special communication is issued, what will be the procedure for agreeing this? How does she plan to verify that these enterprises are really installing broadband capabilities in accordance with the competition rules and not simply producing a costing and saying, ‘That is a great idea, and we would like to help ourselves to this aid in all regions that are ‘uncompetitive’, as it were’? I would be grateful if the Commissioner would explain this once more. There was a second comment from the Commissioner’s colleague, who mentioned that the Commissioner is contemplating a Green Paper dealing with public services in this field, which may, among other things, include broadband. I have some questions about this, too. When does she plan to issue this Green Paper and what kind of consultation procedure will be applied? When will she be bringing the consultation procedure to public attention? My final question is as follows. Can she perhaps provide an overview of the extent to which financial support is already being provided to the field of broadband development from the structural and regional programmes? If I am not mistaken, this is already taking place. I would be grateful if she could provide me with written information on this – it does not have to be today."@en1
