However, in order to emphasise the role that the structural funds can have in supporting the EFF, your Rapporteur suggests that the concept of “Regional Competitiveness and Employment” be introduced explicitly supporting the restructuring of areas hit by the decline of traditional activities.

On the other hand, the Rapporteur is not convinced that the simplification of management will also decrease the administrative difficulties faced especially by the poorest regions while trying to make use of the structural funds with their modest administrative resources.

As regards the distinction of the European Fisheries Fund from the structural funds and the transfer of fisheries structural financing mainly into the EFF, this seems to form a good starting point for a more efficient use of the resources as well as to increase the transparency of funding.

The actions accompanying the restructuring needs of the fisheries sector, as well as those improving the working and living conditions in the areas where fisheries still plays an important role, will be financed by the EFF.

Outside this, the structural funds would support the diversification of the rural economy and of the areas dependent on fisheries away from traditional activities.

This clarifies the functions and the complementary role of different funds having an impact on fisheries, but it should not have a detrimental effect on the overall level of funding currently available for the fisheries from the structural funds, including the FIFG.

The Regulation proposes a concentration of resources and activity on three objectives; the "convergence" of less developed Member States and regions (those whose per capita GDP is less than 75% of the community average) with other EU regions; enhancing regional competitiveness through anticipating and promoting economic change and helping people adapt to this; and European territorial cooperation which entails supporting cooperation at cross-border, transnational and interregional level.

Your draftsman recalls that for the current and future programming periods the amounts allowed under the trans-European transport networks (TEN-T) budget heading would be insufficient to ensure progress in the TEN-T projects which have been identified and agreed.

Whereas the European Union has made substantial sums available for TEN-T in the period 2000-2006 (29.2 billion from the Structural Funds alone) progress towards the completion of these projects has been slow and even disappointing.

In response to this it is now proposed in another draft Regulation on general rules for the trans-European networks (COM2004/475 final) to increase the overall amounts and the percentage share of costs met by EU funding for individual projects.

Concommitantly however it must be insured that the general rules for management and control of the Structural and Cohesion Funds protect Community resources and ensure they are not advanced unless partnership funding from the Member States is real and effective.

OPINION of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality
In February 2004 the European Commission adopted its proposal on the financial perspectives of the enlarged Union for 2007-2013 and the Third Report on Cohesion.
In February 2004 the European Commission adopted its proposal on the financial perspectives of the enlarged Union for 2007-2013 and the Third Report on Cohesion.
The report concludes that enlargement represents an unprecedented challenge for the Union’s competitiveness and internal cohesion, having led as it has to an increase in the economic development gap, an eastward geographical shift in disparities, and a more difficult employment situation.

The whole Union is facing challenges resulting among other things from an acceleration of economic restructuring, the development of the knowledge economy, an ageing population and more immigration.

The reform envisaged, the aim of which is to simplify the management of the Structural Funds, includes a number of innovations, among them a rearrangement of the programmes around the three themes of ‘convergence’, ‘regional competitiveness and employment’ and ‘territorial cooperation’, and other major changes including the financing, where possible, of the cohesion programmes from a single fund.

The obligations laid down in the EC Treaty with regard to equal opportunities for women and men, providing for incorporation of the equal opportunities dimension in all Community measures and programmes and the adoption of specific measures for women were already transposed into the regulations relating to the Structural Funds for the period 2000-2006.

While one welcomes the fact that these fundamental provisions on equal opportunities for women and men are retained in the new regulations on the Structural Funds for the period 2007-2013 and in the general regulation on the funds, neither the principle of eliminating all forms of discrimination, including those against people with disabilities, nor the objective of social inclusion are included in the general regulation as priority Community objectives.

Your draftswoman is also concerned at the calls to exclude non-governmental organisations and bodies working in the area of equal opportunities from the list of partners in Article 10, and insists not only that these bodies should be retained but also that the list should be extended to include bodies working in the areas of social inclusion and the fight against discrimination.

One is also struck by the absence from the Commission proposal of any mention of the need for balanced male/female membership of the Monitoring Committee, even though this important principle was laid down in Article 35 of General Regulation 1260/1999.
