"The Belgian Presidency held a conference in Liège about the future of cohesion policies on the basis of the Fifth Cohesion Report, which we jointly published with Commissioner Hahn. Conditionality was one of the main discussion points and, as regards the European Social Fund, the situation described by Mrs Göncz is being covered, and we would like to develop conditionality in that sense.
Conditionality has various meanings and, unfortunately, some of these are seen as unfair or counterproductive. We believe that the real meaning of conditionality, as regards the structural funds, is that awareness and responsibility have to be raised not just as regards the content, but also the context of the projects and the operational programmes. We really have to connect with the social reality when we fund programmes in various regions and microregions, and we will take this very seriously.
We have been working recently with some Member States on community-based services. For example, in Bulgaria, a joint project was financed by the European Social and Regional Development Fund to close down institutions for children with disabilities, as a first step in implementing an ambitious action plan to close down all existing institutions for children and providing family-type care and new services to support families. This particular programme was in the range of EUR 39 million but there are also similar ones not only in Bulgaria, but also in Slovakia."@en1
