"In relation to the debate on European funds I should like to draw attention to four proposals by the Commission aimed at accelerating use of financial resources and the Structural Funds by the beneficiaries.
1. Increasing support from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF) for projects cofinanced from the Structural Funds.
2. Simplifying procedures concerning eligibility of expenditure retroactively as far back as 1 August 2006, involving for instance inclusion of a beneficiary’s contribution in-kind in eligible expenditure.
3. Increasing payments in instalments from the Structural Funds by 2%, thus allowing for the payment of additional instalments amounting to EUR 6.25 billion in 2009.
4. Accelerating expenditure on major projects amongst other measures by enabling beneficiaries to submit requests for payments prior to approval of projects by the European Commission.
All the aforementioned changes involve increasing the liquidity of beneficiaries. They deserve wholehearted support and should be implemented as soon as possible. The same applies to the simplifying provisions."@en1
