"Thank you, Mr President. Commissioner, I believe that the draft prepared by Mrs Hübner, the former Commissioner for Regional Policy, is also balanced and, in fact, good. I understand that we all know that the crisis has created a challenge for many Member States that are net contributors, as a result of which there is pressure for the next financial perspective to be reduced in money terms. In such a case, this major heading that cohesion policy represents is also extremely important. However, it is important for all of us not to get confused, but be a little more conservative and not let go of two fundamentals of cohesion policy, namely, that it is an independent policy, the main objective of which is still, and will remain, the equalisation of development between less well-developed regions and the rest of the European Union, and second, that per capita gross domestic product by purchasing power parity is nevertheless the main criterion. If we disregard these fundamentals, any other debates (such as how better to align cohesion policy with the achievement of the European Union’s 2020 targets) will fail to achieve anything, even with ‘EU 2020’ in the context of cohesion policy. Thank you."@en1
