"I voted in favour of this report because the European Union must increase aid for its regions, particularly rural ones, in order to encourage economic recovery. We must therefore support the Commission’s proposal to temporarily increase the Union’s maximum cofinancing rate for EAFRD (European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development) programmes in struggling States that receive support from the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (euro area) or the balance of payments facility for non-euro area Member States. The Commission’s proposal is nonetheless paradoxical since, at the same time, it claims to be in favour of the Franco-German proposal to suspend the payment of regional funds to struggling States in order to force them to put their public accounts in order. Penalising those States by suspending cohesion policy funds, while offering increased support for EAFRD programmes, amounts to arbitrary discrimination against non-agricultural areas. If it is to recover from the economic crisis, the European Union must lend its support to all of those regions that are struggling."@en1
