"Mr President, having been on the Regional Development Committee in the last legislature, I saw how difficult this topic was, and how hard people like Mr Van Nistelrooij and Mr Albrecht worked and became experts in the field. When they say something one should listen, as they know what they are talking about.
One of the points I want to highlight here is their comment on visibility. Given that 30% or more of our budget goes in cohesion funding and that in many Member States 60% to 80% of public investment comes from the European Union, I wonder whether the people who are benefiting from it know of it? Indeed, I heard in relation to Brexit that some people who voted against were actually being employed and being paid by European funds but did not even know it. So from here on, with money that is spent in cohesion funding there must also be absolute certainty that this is communicated to those who benefit and to the public."@en1
