"Mr President, I would essentially like to say that we await a major economic decision on the countries that have been bailed out at the upcoming European Council, which is closely linked to the issue of the Structural Funds. The Structural Funds need to be streamlined. A significant proportion of this funding remains unused and much of it has been used purely and simply for major infrastructure projects. It must be geared towards competitiveness for small and medium-sized enterprises, so as to enable economic recovery. The only investment that countries like Greece, Portugal, Ireland and others can receive is that currently coming from the Structural Funds.
I would also raise a political point for all EU politicians; for those involved in the European process in good faith. When talking about systems, there is a need to be very careful to respect national identities and the Member States. Although many of them often have good intentions, not all EU politicians have risen to this challenge of complete respect for the national identity of each Member State."@en1
