"Mr President, representatives of the Council and the Commission, I would like to comment on the progress we have definitely achieved. For example, we have achieved an agreement on NSI efficiency. We also have an agreement on the Financial Regulation, which is another important matter. And that is exactly what Parliament wants: to achieve results. However, as coordinator of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) for regional policy, I see too little progress in the process surrounding the multiannual financial framework. If we fail to achieve an agreement by early 2013, we simply will not be able to apply the new regulations and, in these times of crisis, we will have achieved nothing by 2014. I do have to say, and I am addressing this to the Council, that we have actually made progress in terms of the regulation on the general provisions applicable to the Structural Funds. However, there is a flaw there. There are important elements that fall under colegislation with Parliament and that have been thrown into the mix and addressed there in connection with the MFF. I am talking about matters such as the categorisation of regions, which is the competence of Parliament, cohesion representatives, the position of the common strategic framework, the performance reserve, etc. Look at Article 312 of the Treaty of Lisbon, as well as Articles 174 and 177, and you will see a flaw there, an architectural error. Since this will be important in the negotiations over the coming period, I ask the Council today: do you want to resolve this situation or will the consequence of it be the entire MFF falling under colegislation? A large group of members put questions about this to the Council on 18 June. You are not observing the Treaty of Lisbon and we cannot allow that! With the mandate of the Committee on Regional Development, after the 11 July vote, we want to get down to work straightaway in order to discuss issues over which we have the final say. We cannot allow this!"@en1
