lpv:translated text	"Mr President, with the report by Mrs Krehl, whom I would like to congratulate on the work which she has done, we are finishing the legislation relating to the Structural Funds for the period from 2007 to 2013 and we are moving on to practice, in other words to the application of the legislation. However, the question that arises is: is the legislation which we have voted through the best? I say not. In my view, it could have been much better. However, given the equilibriums which exist in this Union, of which our countries are Member States, this European Union of twenty-five states, I can say that it is the best possible legislation. Consequently, we now have before us the challenge of seeing not only and merely how the 308 billion cohesion budget will be taken up by the Member States and the regions, but also how they will make use of all this money. Within this framework, the strategic guidelines which we are discussing today are important, because they refer precisely to the content of cohesion policy: where the money will be directed and which the priority sectors will be. Of course, it is absolutely right for cohesion policy to be linked to the Lisbon Strategy and this is clearly expressed through the guidelines. It would perhaps be better if the link had been clearer or more specific or if the Lisbon Strategy had been given a narrower definition, in order to cover certain truly leading sectors for the economy of the European Union. In all events, the time of responsibility has come. The time of responsibility for the Commission, the time of responsibility for the Member States, especially for the ten new Member States which need to learn fast lessons in order to see how the Community Support Framework operates, and for us as far as control is concerned. Our work does not end today. I would say that today is when it starts."@en1
