"Mr President, Rainer Böge’s report before us concerns the future financing of the EU. I wish to say a special thank you to him for his exceptional expertise and hard work. At the same time I wish to thank all the committee members for their constructive cooperation.
The financial frameworks create a basis for the EU’s future policy areas. Particular areas of focus this time are regional, structural and cohesion policy and improved levels of employment and competitiveness. The intention is to increase structural policy financing and rural development funds, to guarantee that there is balanced development. The needs of the new Member States are understood and accepted, but the report quite rightly points out that the more susceptible regions of the old Member States should not be made to pay for the new cohesion policy.
To improve employment levels and boost economic growth, the purpose within the financial frameworks is to invest particularly in research and development, and education and training. This money would be increased to three times the sum in seven years. The priority is absolutely the right one. Economising on these is economising on our own future, and this I wish to warn others against, especially the country holding the presidency.
The aim is to use additional funds to strengthen the European dimension in research and development. I would like to make a strong appeal to the Member States to lose no time in adopting the new financial perspective and the interinstitutional Agreement as proposed by Parliament."@en1
