". Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the EP’s Committee on Regional Development feels that the funding of the cohesion policy should be retained at least at the level of the 2007-2014 period, which is the absolute minimum and should therefore be the bottom line that cannot be crossed in future EP debates on this subject. The multiannual financial framework (MFF) and the annual budget of the European Union are investment tools that contribute to economic growth, increase competition, raise the standard of living in the regions and, of course, help to create jobs. From both the political left and right, we very often hear the lofty speeches about needing ‘more Europe’. We must not be hypocritical; we must not say, on the one hand, that the answer to the crisis is ‘more Europe’ while, on the other hand, some EU Heads of State or Government agree to cut the funding for this ‘more Europe’, especially its cohesion policy, which will mean only that we will have to compromise our objectives in the 2020 strategy. Ladies and gentlemen, I am calling on you today to adopt the EP’s interim report on the MFF and to defend it before the Council."@en1
