Our aim must be to ensure the highest levels of development and competitiveness for the whole territory of the Union taking account of geographic situation and population density and not just concentrate on focal points of economic success or failure.

The Commission's acknowledgement, therefore, that European regional policy concerns all the regions and Member States of the Union is especially important as is the fact that the idea of any renationalisation of cohesion policy is now firmly off the agenda.

In a climate of financial discipline and in the face of a certain reticence in some quarters vis à vis the policy itself, the current proposal by the Commission of 0.41 % of Union GNI (or 0.46 % before transfers to the single rural and fishery instruments) must, albeit reluctantly, be considered an acceptable compromise

Nevertheless, while this objective would primarily concern those regions whose per capita GDP is less than 75 % of the Community average, there has been considerable preoccupation, aired in the European Parliament and elsewhere, about the fate of existing Objective 1 regions which will lose their eligibility for this objective as a result of the lowering of the average per capita GDP in the enlarged Union.

Bearing in mind that these are regions which are still seriously lagging behind the rest of the Union and which will only become “richer” in relative terms as a result of a statistical recalculation, the Commission proposal for temporary support for them, until 2013, should be warmly welcomed.
