lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the world economic downturn is hitting each of our countries and each of our regions. It is right that tonight we agree emergency action to speed up European funds to people in need, at a time of need. In particular, I welcome of the cutting of paperwork by allowing flat and lump-sum payments, allowing spending on energy efficiency in housing, bringing forward some GBP 6 billion of spending to start this year, and making it easier to work with the European Investment Bank loans. Already, when a building society call centre in Hertfordshire, in my constituency, shed jobs, within 24 hours we were able to call in European-funded response to redundancy aid, showing how Europe can give real help to our local communities. With respect to the changes we are agreeing tonight, the East of England Development Agency is welcoming the fact that more business-led, bite-sized and bespoke training provision is to be allowed, and says it will help us more quickly to meet our region’s commitment to help 124 000 people through European social funding alone. Finally, I was very proud that Commissioner Hübner came personally to Lowestoft, in my constituency, to launch our GBP 100 million European regional development programme and its emphasis on helping business in our communities adapt to low-carbon growth. The economic crisis must not deflect any of us from meeting the long-term challenge of climate change. Indeed, investment in environmental technologies in management should lead recovery efforts. The East of England intends to stand firm to this objective."@en1
