"Coming from a local government background, I consider the principle of partnership to be a key element in the cohesion policy of the EU, as does the rapporteur Jean Marie Beaupuy. I have therefore voted in favour of the report.
A successful partnership requires a certain investment at the start of the process, although later there will be savings in terms of time, money and effectiveness. The creation of an Erasmus programme for local elected representatives would contribute towards the exchange of tried and tested approaches in the area of the administration of public affairs within an EU framework.
I call on the responsible institutions, especially the Europe 12, one of which is my own country Slovakia, to apply the principle of partnership diligently in the 2007 – 2013 programme period and to make use of a historic opportunity to eradicate the inequalities between regions. Local politicians know their areas very well and are able to find the most effective solutions to the problems of their towns and villages, and I therefore call on the Member States to move towards decentralising the power to implement EU cohesion policy from a central to a regional level."@en1
