"I voted for the report drafted by Mr Teixeira because I think that we need to focus our attention on promoting balanced, sustainable development in all European regions, in keeping with the objectives of economic and social cohesion. We all want a harmonised European Union, without any economic imbalances or differences in standard of living; in other words, a European Union where all citizens are equal. In this respect, I regard as timely the increase in the level of accessibility of the outermost regions through infrastructure improvements. Access to ICT in the EU’s less well developed regions is also just as important. Furthermore, the considerable contribution made by the Structural Funds in the process of integrating at regional level regions with weak development potential has proven to be beneficial, and I support a more effective use of these instruments. Particular attention must be focused on boosting economic competitiveness in the regions by creating an environment conducive to the development of the entrepreneurial spirit and businesses. In order to achieve these objectives, an ambitious, active partnership is required between the European Union, Member States, civil society and the regional authorities, in keeping with the principle of multilevel governance."@en1
