lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the announcement of the reprogramming of the Structural Funds needs to be clarified and explained. This announcement is part of a rhetorical exercise seeking to obscure the disastrous effects of the last informal European Council’s decisions. To speak of growth and youth unemployment at the same meeting that institutionalises recessive policies of so-called ‘austerity’, and advocates more of the liberalisation and attacks on labour laws that are facilitating redundancies in Portugal is much more than a rhetorical exercise: it is supreme hypocrisy. The President of the Commission announced that EUR 82 billion was available for the Member States as a whole for this reprogramming. The Portuguese people will be paying 40% of this total, or EUR 34 billion, in interest to the IMF and the EU under the pact of aggression being perpetrated against the country. More than reprogramming, what is needed is to substantially increase the Structural Funds, so as to realise solidarity rather than producing insulting propaganda. What is needed is an end to policies which stifle small and medium-sized enterprises and which raise youth unemployment to unprecedented levels. What is needed is an end to the intolerable process of extortion of natural resources associated with IMF and EU programmes."@en1
