"The report deserves to be supported, especially because it underlines the fact that cohesion policy – by its very nature – has to take into account the specific characteristics of regions and of outermost regions, but, more generally, that it has to take into account all specific features. The very existence of funding for the ‘cohesion’ of regions with different levels of development in fact presupposes the need to operate in situations that are structurally diverse, in terms of their geographic features or socio-economic gap. To deny this basic fact would be to deny the very aims of cohesion policy, and the report also needs to represent a reminder when the regulations for the future 2014-2020 cohesion policy are being defined. Alongside the need to focus efforts on objectives that are considered to be fundamental, it is important to remember that, in order to achieve these very objectives, the different starting conditions of the areas in which the instruments are actually operating have to be borne in mind. If this is not done, efforts could be not only in vain, but even counter-productive. In addition, the report is also an opportunity to reiterate that future funding must absolutely not be less than at present. We can only get through the crisis by revitalising investment and, even more so in disadvantaged areas, the EU institutions have a duty to prepare the ground in order to make this possible."@en1
