"Mr President, Commissioner, the cohesion and regional policies function on the basis of the regulations with which we established a seven-year framework in 2006. A total of EUR 350 billion was earmarked for growth and employment, with priority for the Lisbon objectives, and there was a specific goal in mind. This is all well and good, you may say, but what is missing? I am missing the Fifth Cohesion Report in the plan for next year: it was promised for June 2008. The report must lay the foundations for long-term adjustments to the cohesion policy and for our plans regarding the regions and cities. In our Member States there is a trend towards renationalisation, which Parliament firmly rejects as it covers a whole range of policy areas: R&D, innovation, regional cohesion and rural policy. In this context, I would like to address Commissioners Hübner and Potočnik. The PPE-DE Group launched the debate on the medium-term approach with a parliamentary hearing last week, quite rightly to look at the question in more depth and to bring the citizens and regions into focus in the coming years. Finally, the move to make the new Solidarity Fund more flexible, Mr President, has been blocked by the Council, and we would like to see a breakthrough there. As far as the Commission is concerned, much more support is required."@en1
