"Mr President, the legislative reforms pertaining to the Structural Funds have had a satisfactory outcome. It was not an easy task, as the views and interests of the new and old Member States had to be reconciled. On the other hand, the needs of the southern and northern regions of the old Member States had to be taken into account.
As the member representing the northernmost country in the committee, I tried to ensure in particular that the sparsely populated regions in the north of Sweden and Finland would achieve an equitable position. The committee reached a position which supported the idea of drawing a parallel between these northernmost regions and the peripheral regions. Cooperation between the Commission, the Council and Parliament ensured that a solution on financing would be reached that would safeguard the position of the sparsely populated regions in the subsequent financing period. In the future we will have to ensure that this support remains as permanent as the natural conditions which are the basis for it."@en1
