"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, today's package of amendments to the provisions of the Structural Fund regulations is an important step towards simplifying and directly activating resources, both at European and at national and local level.
It is an important step in invigorating the European economy in the middle of an unprecedented crisis which is harming the real economy at all levels more and more every day. It is a step which corresponds to the European Parliament's long-standing demand for even simpler procedures and greater flexibility in the application of the rules of the Structural Funds.
What is the response of today's leaders to the massive crisis we are currently experiencing? Where are the European policies? To ensure that the required liquidity reaches its recipients and the implementation of projects starts immediately, the Member States need to respond to the circumstances. Cohesion policy resources must be made available immediately and promptly to the real beneficiaries at regional and local level. The purpose of activating operational programmes should be to safeguard jobs, entrepreneurship and competitiveness and make use of the natural, cultural and human resources of each region.
Only the immediate activation of programmes will help to protect cohesion and prevent the creation of new divergences.
May today's crisis be an opportunity for us to unite our voice, so that there is a European voice in solving all the problems we are experiencing."@en1
