"Mr President, Wales has benefited hugely from structural funding. It is therefore not surprising that I support the current basis of cohesion policy.
I believe that structural funding should be made available to all regions across the EU and that adequate support should be provided for regions that no longer have convergence status. I believe competitiveness should be maintained, and would therefore urge all colleagues who are interested to attend this afternoon’s march, organised by the Committee of the Regions.
Finally, I believe the European Social Fund should remain part of cohesion policy and not be moved out to sectoral projects. I look forward to the publication of the fifth Cohesion Report, around 9 November. In particular, I look forward to talking about some of the details, including simplification of the process, particularly for applicants. I also look forward to discussing the definition of an urban area. That is a very important issue for us to discuss.
We must also, of course, ensure that cohesion policy and structural funds have an adequate budget in the future."@en1
