Men man må ikke benægte det åbenlyse og minde om, at traktaten ikke forbyder enhver form for støtte, for der er nogle former, der er tilladt, og som tilstræber mål som social samhørighed, regional samhørighed, miljø osv. Og hvis det forholder sig sådan, og det gør det, hvorfor nægter Folkepartiet så at tillade de ændringsforslag, der omhandler dette spørgsmål.
However, we cannot deny the obvious and we should recall that the Treaty does not forbid all types of aid, so some types that are aimed at objectives such as social cohesion, regional cohesion, the environment, etc. should be permitted. If that is the case, and it is, why does the Group of the Europe People' s Party refuse to accept amendments that cover that point?
