"The decentralisation of government brings increased responsibility to regional and local authorities. Indeed, it is authorities at local level which best understand the needs of their regions and the people who live there, thanks to which they can adapt general objectives to their own potential and possibilities. We will achieve success if the Member States identify with the work they undertake and responsibility for it is devolved to authorities at the appropriate level. We should support a grass-roots approach, which should be flexible and integrated. It is important for cohesion policy to be user friendly. There is a need to reduce administrative costs and simplify procedures, the complicated nature of which, in many cases, not only results in mistakes, but often discourages beneficiaries from using support which is available to them. We talk about reducing the risk of error, but we should not forget the plans and objectives upon which we have decided. I am thinking, here, of innovative measures. We have given an important place to innovative methods, so we have to reckon with the risk and possibility of mistakes being made. We should, therefore, ask ourselves if we want to undertake work of an experimental nature in the spirit of the priorities of the 2020 strategy, or if we would rather reduce the number of mistakes, which would mean discouraging our citizens from undertaking innovative but sometimes uncertain work."@en1
