Uma verdadeira oportunidade para as nossas regiões, mais necessária do que nunca, à saída desta pandemia que também através dos fundos da coesão dos fundos estruturais começámos a enfrentar com os Regulamentos CRII. Foi por aqui que começámos e é também com os recursos da coesão que vamos enfrentar e responder a esta pandemia, porque a política de coesão é, de facto, o instrumento mais importante de promoção da convergência económica no espaço europeu. Valeu, por isso, a dedicação de todos, do nosso presidente do comité à nossa comissária, a todos os colegas relatores para chegarmos ao fim e entregarmos esses resultados, para que os fundos europeus cheguem rapidamente agora aos Estados—Membros e possam ser aplicados em benefício das pessoas e das regiões.  Tive responsabilidades particulares na negociação do INTERREG. Quero destacar alguns aspetos importantes. A cooperação territorial europeia permite aproximar regiões, pessoas e organizações e dar, assim, um espírito maior e mais aprofundado à cooperação entre Estados-Membros e regiões. Do diálogo, do espírito de compromisso neste processo, melhorámos significativamente os regulamentos, o reforço do peso das regiões transfronteiriças no novo INTERREG, onde há mais necessidade de estimular a cooperação, onde os riscos da desertificação são maiores. Promover o desenvolvimento destas regiões, a melhoria da qualidade de vida das suas populações, é, tantas vezes, o maior dos desafios. Mas também saliento a concentração temática nas prioridades climática e social por iniciativa deste Parlamento, ou o facto de as regiões ultraperiféricas da Europa passarem a dispor de uma dotação definida no regulamento de 3,5% de todo o INTERREG só para estas regiões. Trata-se de importantes melhorias. Outras podiam ser apontadas, mas o mais importante é levar estes fundos agora ao terreno em benefício das populações europeias.

Creo que hemos trabajado muy bien —gracias, señora comisaria, señor presidente— y ahora tenemos un buen Reglamento. Y hoy yo les quería pedir tres cosas. La primera, que los fondos FEDER se inviertan bien, en proyectos transformadores que creen empleo, en innovación, en proyectos verdes, que invirtamos en las personas. La segunda, que no quede ni un solo euro sin gastar, porque la realidad es que muchos países tienen problemas para gastar estos fondos. Y ahora que, como en el caso de España, llegan todos los fondos del Plan de Recuperación, no podemos dejar los fondos FEDER en el olvido. Nos tenemos que poner a trabajar ya en los planes operativos y, sobre todo, en eliminar trabas administrativas y que las pymes puedan acceder a los fondos. No puede ser que no accedan por el exceso de burocracia. Y lo tercero, que lleguen a todo el territorio. Creo que hemos sido claros en este Reglamento. A partir de ahora se debe poner el foco también en las zonas despobladas y poner en marcha planes integrados para que estas zonas tengan conexión a internet, servicios sociales de calidad y oportunidades de empleo. En definitiva, estos fondos FEDER tienen que garantizar que ningún ciudadano ni ningún territorio se quede atrás en esta recuperación.

The cohesion policy that we discuss today is a big step towards this green vision. We made it possible to support climate neutrality and a sustainable economy. We made it almost impossible to waste European money, either by destroying nature or by feeding into corruption. And we brought people together. We said individual citizens should make the decisions in their regions. However, we are still not finished because a ‘do no significant harm’ rule is not a ‘do no harm’ rule. And not a decrease of funds is not an increase that we urgently need. And to almost make it impossible to spend money on corruption is not making it impossible, so we still have work to do. Cohesion policy, though, has always brought people together, has made security and solidarity and equality in Europe possible. We want security, we want solidarity, and we want unity in Europe and so we want better cohesion policy. Today we will celebrate the cohesion policy proposal that we have today. But for tomorrow we will continue to work to improve the life of the European citizens.

La criticità maggiore per l'efficienza dei fondi europei nel perseguire la coesione, però, è notoriamente data dalla difficoltà di spesa in molte regioni in ritardo di sviluppo, dovuta a complessità burocratiche, condizionalità eccessive e scarsa aderenza ai bisogni dei territori. Il tasso di assorbimento medio dei fondi SIE in Europa infatti è del 40 %, con divergenze notevoli che vedono alcune regioni assorbirne solo il 20 %. Il nuovo regolamento ha introdotto facilitazioni alla progettazione, tramite assistenza tecnica, e qualche semplificazione procedurale. Ma, per converso, sono state confermate le condizionalità macroeconomiche dal 2023 e introdotte quelle climatiche, molto stringenti, per tutto il ciclo di programmazione. Il timore è che l'obiettivo di neutralità climatica troppo vicino nel tempo finisca per compromettere seriamente l'azione per la coesione, fondamentale nei trattati. Il tempo dimostrerà se i nostri appelli alla misura e all'equilibrio, purtroppo inascoltati, fossero fondati o meno.

Natomiast negatywnie oceniam ustanowienie obligatoryjności przeznaczenia środków we wspólnych przepisach. Wymusza się absurdalny cel neutralności klimatycznej do 2050 r. – absurdalny, bowiem Unia odpowiada jedynie za 9% globalnej emisji CO2 ze spalania paliw kopalnych – i jednocześnie narzuca się obowiązek wykorzystania 30% budżetu Unii na ten cel, a w przypadku funduszu spójności nawet 37%. Ogranicza to w nieuzasadniony sposób swobodę państw członkowskich w ustalaniu własnych strategii społeczno-gospodarczych, które odpowiadać będą ich indywidualnym potrzebom i pozwolą dążyć do wskazanego celu własną drogą.

Nous avons su toutes et tous converger pour moderniser et simplifier la cohésion et en faire aussi dorénavant le premier pilier du pacte vert. Nous avons vu que l’Europe peut mourir par manque de solidarité. Elle surmontera les difficultés actuelles par plus de cohésion et de convergence. C’est l’objectif, d’ailleurs, des fonds structurels qui ont aidé l’Europe hier à se construire et qui l’aideront maintenant à se reconstruire. Cohésion, transition juste, relance: les moyens n’ont jamais été aussi importants et ils doivent maintenant viser, dans les régions, à une bonne complémentarité pour la meilleure programmation des Fonds: c’est le défi qui est à présent devant nous.

Signora Presidente, signora Commissaria, onorevoli colleghi, alcune considerazioni. Ritengo soddisfacente il testo della raccomandazione per la seconda lettura del recante disposizioni comuni; durante i triloghi, infatti, sono state difese adeguatamente le posizioni del Parlamento, permettendo di raggiungere un compromesso equilibrato più verde e inclusivo. Anche l'accordo raggiunto sul Fondo europeo di sviluppo regionale rende più vicino l'obiettivo di colmare il divario fra le diverse regioni europee. Mi spiace solo che non sia scomparso completamente il vincolo di macrocondizionalità economica. Anche il programma Interreg esce rafforzato, con il rilancio della collaborazione tra regioni in settori decisivi come quello della sanità. Unico rammarico: la diminuzione del livello dei finanziamenti parzialmente assorbiti dalla Brexit.

Doamna președintă, stimată doamnă comisar, stimate colege, stimați colegi, astăzi este o zi foarte bună pentru Parlamentul European. Vom da acordul privind alocarea a 330 de miliarde - fonduri europene, fonduri structurale și de coeziune pentru toate statele membre ale Uniunii Europene, pentru următorii șapte ani de zile. Acești bani vor putea fi folosiți pentru modernizarea drumurilor, a căilor ferate, pentru îmbunătățirea infrastructurii energetice, a infrastructurii digitale, pentru întreprinderi mici și mijlocii, pentru modernizarea școlilor și buna pregătire a tinerilor pentru viitor.  Datorită Parlamentului European accesarea fondurilor europene va fi mai simplă în următorii ani. Datorită implicării Parlamentului European, am reușit să asigurăm o rată de cofinanțare de la nivel european de 85 % pentru regiunile cele mai puțin dezvoltate și am reușit să asigurăm principiul ca până la 5 % din fonduri să poată fi alocate de la un program la altul, în funcție de nevoi, adică flexibilitate - banii să poată fi folosiți acolo unde este nevoie de ei.  Noi, Parlamentul European, ne-am îndeplinit misiunea. Acum este responsabilitatea guvernelor statelor membre să depună cât mai repede programele operaționale, pentru a putea fi aprobate de Comisie și fondurile europene să ajungă la oameni cât mai curând.

Madam President, I would like to congratulate the entire team of the Parliament, and also the Commission. Indeed, after three years of intensive negotiations, a very good outcome for our citizens in all our regions in the European Union could be achieved, with the S&D Group leading the main dossier and three big success points. First, investments will be more digital, leading to smart innovation, quality jobs, sustainable growth and support for small and medium enterprises to make all our regions fit for the future, especially after the COVID-19 crisis. Second, investments will be more climate friendly for a sustainable future for the current generation and also for the next generation. Last but not least, investments will become more social democratic with a focus on social infrastructure, with integration measures for a better social life altogether, and more gender equality and democratic principles, including the partnership principle and the European Pillar of Social Rights.

Madame la Présidente, Madame la Commissaire, chers collègues, contrairement à l’extrême droite, nous pensons, nous, que aller vers les autres est une démarche constructive et que c’est même le meilleur chemin pour construire l’avenir. C’est aussi l’esprit et la force de ce programme Interreg pour l’environnement, contre les maladies infectieuses, pour l’emploi, pour l’innovation, pour sauvegarder aussi nos savoir-faire traditionnels: partout en Europe, Interreg abolit les obstacles de la géographie. Jouer la carte de la coopération régionale, c’est miser sur notre destin commun, c’est la raison pour laquelle nous avons ouvert de nouvelles portes pour et avec les outre-mer. Alors je veux dire à ceux qui ont pour seul projet politique de nous isoler, d’apprendre à nos enfants la haine des autres, que toujours nous combattrons les murs de l’extrémisme et toujours nous travaillerons ensemble. Nous partagerons des solutions pour construire cette fraternité dont nous avons besoin pour réussir les défis d’aujourd’hui et de demain.

Madame la Présidente, le FEDER est un pilier de la politique régionale de l’Union européenne et représente près d’un quart du budget européen. Ses fonds sont essentiels pour financer des projets dans les régions et les villes, mais il était temps qu’il soit pleinement en ligne face à l’urgence climatique et à l’effondrement de la biodiversité, aligné avec les objectifs du pacte vert et qu’il arrête de financer des grands projets inutiles et destructeurs. Le texte final n’est pas celui dont nous rêvions, mais c’est un compromis qui a le mérite d’exister et qui permet d’avoir le FEDER le plus vert de l’histoire: 30 % des fonds du FEDER seront utilisés pour stimuler une Europe plus verte, augmenter les investissements dans les énergies renouvelables, l’efficacité énergétique, les mobilités durables et la biodiversité. Il soutiendra aussi l’inclusion sociale et les logements sociaux. Ce FEDER sera aussi celui de la fin du soutien aux énergies fossiles. Nous aurions préféré une fin immédiate, celle-ci aura lieu en 2025 et les financements seront limités d’ici là. Enfin, ce nouveau FEDER contribuera à atténuer les disparités entre les régions et à renforcer la cohésion au sein de l’Union européenne.

Madame la Présidente, Madame la Commissaire, chers collègues, la démocratie a été confisquée dans cet hémicycle, temple soi-disant de la tolérance, des droits de l’homme et de l’environnement. Vous nous l’avez déjà prouvé en vous exonérant de la loi D'Hondt et vous avez réitéré en commission du développement régional en ayant recours, pour le FEDER, à un vote bloqué du tout ou rien qui, pour venir en aide à nos compatriotes d’outre-mer à hauteur de 1,5 milliard, nous a contraints de voter 11,3 milliards pour les migrants, ces millions d’êtres humains victimes de passeurs, esclaves des temps modernes, main d’œuvre à bas coût des multinationales délocalisées qui, grâce à vos traités, s’enrichissent encore et encore, contribuant au réchauffement climatique, à la destruction de notre planète, de nos nations et de nos peuples.

Pani Przewodnicząca! Pani Komisarz! Pakiet polityki spójności jest zwieńczeniem prac prowadzonych od maja 2018 roku i oczekiwaniem wszystkich państw członkowskich, regionów i mieszkańców całej Europy. Nie był to łatwy proces z uwagi na brexit i trudne negocjacje budżetowe, a następnie wstrząs wywołany pandemią COVID-19. Za osiągnięty kompromis podziękowania należą się Pani Komisarz i wszystkim zaangażowanym stronom.  Polska pod przewodnictwem premiera Mateusza Morawieckiego, jako jeden z największych beneficjentów polityki spójności, odniosła ogromny sukces negocjacyjny: ponad 72 miliardy euro oraz blisko 4 miliardy z funduszu sprawiedliwej transformacji. Z ogromną satysfakcją muszę podkreślić, że przyjęto wiele polskich postulatów, jak zwiększenie elastyczności wykorzystania środków i poziomów dofinansowania czy rozszerzenie o wsparcie inwestycji sektora gazu, taboru kolejowego i infrastruktury szerokopasmowej.  Mój kraj finalizuje przygotowania do wykorzystania tak ogromnego strumienia środków na inwestycje: 9 programów krajowych, 16 regionalnych oraz wsparcie dla 6 regionów, w tym Wielkopolski dzięki największemu unijnemu budżetowi na transformację energetyczną. A rządowy program „nowy polski ład” wartości biliona złotych na kolejne siedem lat to odpowiedź na konkurencyjne wyzwania Europy i świata. To inwestycyjny, gospodarczy i społeczny rozwój Polski.
