"Europe’s demographic structure is changing radically. That is an unavoidable fact. Apart from the ageing of the population and lower birth rates at global level, demographic change in a number of regions of the European Union is bringing new challenges that should be considered objectively in future EU cohesion policy. In certain regions, there is depopulation; in others, considerable influxes of people. I therefore consider it absolutely essential to set out and implement an adequate infrastructure policy, adapted to the needs of each area. The Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund play a key role here. As such, there is a need to develop specific policies for the rural areas suffering depopulation, on the one hand, and specific policies for the urban areas receiving significant influxes of population, on the other. The report gives good examples of what should be done. I voted for this report, since I believe it makes pertinent, objective, clear and easily understood contributions to the debate that has recently started on the future of EU regional policy."@en1
