"Mr President, I wish to ask a question about cohesion policy. A system of national development factors mainly determines the level of European funds for less-developed regions and it is based on calculations of both the degree of development of regions and the Member State. Within negotiations for the next long-term financial framework for the next seven years a cut in these factors is proposed and we, the Members of the European Parliament, never had the opportunity to discuss the cut in these factors, though I think this belongs in the area of joint decision-making which exists in the framework of European cohesion policy. In essence, I am worried that the joint consequences of the proposed changes to these factors will have a disproportionate effect on regions within the European Union in different Member States. This may be felt especially in East Slovenia, which is less developed and may be affected by these changes, which in fact amount to a 40 % loss of cohesion funds. In this time of crisis, I think that it is not particularly necessary to emphasise that, in order to implement solidarity and investment policy in the EU, it is simply impossible to allow something like that, and so I would like the Commission to reply to me in writing."@en1
