"Madam President, the subject we are discussing is crucial, even at this late hour. Absorption of the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund must be optimised in order to maximise the contribution of the available regional policy resources to social and economic cohesion.
We need to correct the main factors causing absorption problems and foster increased simplicity and flexibility in the rules and procedures, access to European funds for project organisers, and good management of these funds by the administrative services.
We should also pursue and penalise fraud instead of focusing on minor formal irregularities, and encourage greater synergy and complementarity between the different funds.
Lastly, I should specifically like to stress the importance of attaining maximum efficiency in the execution of the European Social Fund, so that an adequate response may be given to challenges we are currently seeing in the area of employment, stemming from the financial recession.
Ladies and gentlemen, we need to recover a sense of direction for the European project, because Europe can be built on necessity, but it also requires ambition."@en1
