I forbindelse med samhørighedspolitikken foreslås f.eks. betydelige besparelser, men den overordnede balance sikres - balancen mellem nødvendigheden af at tilføre nye ressourcer efter udvidelsen og respekten for, at samhørighedspolitikken skal virke i hele EU.
On cohesion policy, for example, substantial savings are proposed, but the overall balance remains – a balance between the compelling imperative to commit new resources in the wake of enlargement and the need to respect the fact that the mission of the cohesion policy is to work across the whole Union.
