"Mr President, Commissioner, I should also like to congratulate the rapporteurs on their excellent work on these two reports.
Once again, the European Parliament is confirming its very clear position on the importance and role of the cohesion policy, which brings Europe closer to its citizens. This is a policy with very clear added value for the whole of the EU. In future, this policy should not just be maintained; it should be strengthened with the requisite resources.
Both reports point to this approach. I should like to highlight the importance of:
the partnership and participation of local authorities in particular, at all levels
synergies between Community policies, particularly the cohesion policy, and the rural development policy
planning policies and actions that promote the polycentric development of EU territories, with special emphasis on the countryside
the important potential role of small and medium-sized towns, and finally
combating intra-regional inequalities, youth unemployment and the high levels of poverty to be found in many regions of the EU."@en1
