"I support this report, which aims to provide additional financial assistance through the mechanism of the cohesion policy by topping up the cofinancing rate by ten percentage points. However, sometimes in these institutions, one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing. A real problem has arisen in Ireland and I presume elsewhere with regard to LEADER funding. Queries have suddenly arisen about projects costing more than EUR 200 000 and whether there is a conflict with State aid. This has caused a full stop with regard to projects that are in the pipeline and awaiting funding. State aid was never an issue before for these types of projects but now, because there is a query, everything stops. Is nobody considering all the many projects that are currently at a standstill and the knock-on effects of the entire spend? If there are queries, projects should be allowed to continue until a decision is made. I am calling for an immediate decision on this matter. There is no point voting here to give higher levels of cofunding to Member States and, at the same time, blocking LEADER projects because of new queries."@en1
