"Mr President, the Polish media have announced that the European Union has decided against awarding a grant from the Cohesion Fund for the construction of the Racibórz Dolny flood prevention reservoir on the river Oder. The residents of the Oder river basin have been deeply disappointed by this news, and have lost a good deal of faith in the European institutions. In July 1997 there was disastrous flooding in the Oder river basin. Fifty-four people died and material damage amounted to almost EUR 5 billion. The Polish Government set about rebuilding the damaged areas immediately. Although Poland faced enormous financial difficulties, the programme for the construction of flood prevention barriers is being completed consistently and effectively. More than one thousand kilometres of flood prevention barriers have been rebuilt, and the flood plain has been increased by over 150 million square metres. Throughout the programme my country cooperated closely with its neighbours, namely Germany and the Czech Republic. Poland is fulfilling its accession obligations regarding implementation of the provisions of the Water Framework Directive in the cross-border Oder river basin region. I should therefore like to enquire about the reasons why Poland was not awarded financial aid for this project and about the possibility of Cohesion Fund money being made available quickly for this purpose."@en1
