lpv:translated text	"Mr President, taking my cue from the experience I have had in recent years at the head of a local authority in Italy’s Mezzogiorno, I would like to emphasise one of the elements of the Prodi Commission which has been undeniably positive: the constant attention paid to local authorities and above all to the regions, which, with Agenda 2000, have truly become the main players in European cohesion policy. The outlying areas welcomed the working method based on a permanent dialogue with the regions and local authorities, a method which was confirmed by the Commission in its communication of December 2003 and also evidenced by the call to local authority representatives, under the title ‘A thousand debates for Europe’ on the subject of the Constitution, which you launched, Mr Prodi, together with Mr Cox, Parliament’s former president, and the President of the Committee of the Regions. Over these past years, with the White Paper on the new system of governance, the Commission has tackled the problem of the EU democratic deficit, relaunching the concept of grassroots democracy. With EU policies it has helped the weakest European regions to create institutions to promote development and has introduced a culture of planning, assessment and assimilation of intervention."@en1
