"Following lengthy discussions, we have finally succeeded in expressing a clear position on future cohesion policy: Europe needs an integrated, ambitious, simpler and more visible cohesion policy, which strengthens territorial cooperation and applies fairly to all the regions. For many months, the French delegation of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) has been battling to obtain the creation of an intermediate category for regions with per capita GDP between 75% and 90% of the EU average. These regions, which encounter development difficulties without actually being able to benefit from additional funding, risk falling behind if we do not pay particular attention to them. Some 10 French regions could be involved. By battling hard, today in Parliament we obtained support for this category. I regret, however, the doubts expressed by the rapporteur regarding the creation of multiregional operational programmes, which are good policy tools, for territories as well as mountains or rivers. Finally, I welcome the report’s enthusiasm for territorial cooperation, which incorporates my proposals for increasing the budget."@en1
