As a result of delays in the adoption of certain operational programmes of Headings 1b and 2, EUR 2 034 million in current prices of the allocation provided for the Structural Funds, the Cohesion Fund, Rural Development and the European Fund for Fisheries could not be committed in 2007 nor carried over to 2008.

Your Rapporteur is aware that it is difficult at this stage to evaluate the situation of payments, but as a principle in case of problem in payments - the margin between commitment and payments ceiling in 2010 is relatively reduced - the adjustment of the ceiling related to the condition of implementation should be considered automatically in case of problems.
