Amendment 65 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 28 a new
28 a. Stresses that the average take-up rate of all the EU structural funds (accumulated payments/EC financed part of EU structural funds) by EU Member States as at 31 December 2009 is only 13.1%, whereas 56% of the Member States have lower take-up rates than this average; stresses that the difference between the take-up rates for Member States is 290%, the lowest rate being only 7.3% and the highest 21.2%; the low average take-up rates and the vast differences between these rates are also seen in all the individual structural funds: for the ESF, the average rate is 14.2%, 66% of the Member States are below this rate and the difference between the lowest rate (7.71%) and the highest rate (28.6%) is 269%; for the ERDF (average rate:9.34%, 67% Member States below this rate, difference 469% between 4.5% and 21.09%), for the ECF (average rate: 12.41%, 46% Member States below this rate, the difference between 6.63% and 17.17% is 273%);

Amendment 67 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 28 c new
28c new. Stresses that in order to avoid having at least the same non-utilisation rate (2.2%) for the financial period 2007- 2013, it is necessary to ask the Commission to ensure closer and more regular work with the Member States, who did not utilise funds for 2000-2006 and would probably not utilise EU structural funds for the period 2007-2013;
