I fremtiden vil strukturfondenes andel kun vokse, hvilket vi blev opmærksomme på i går under behandlingen af betænkningen om Agenda 2000, fordi der fra strukturfondene overføres ca 2 mia mark til garantisektionen til hovedsageligt lignende brug til EUGFL-Garantisektionen og dertil kommer, at det finansielle strukturfondsbidrag på budgettet fortsat vil være de samme 0, 46% af BNP.
The proportion of the budget accounted for by the Structural Funds will increase further in future, as we saw when the Agenda 2000 assessment was published yesterday, because some 2 billion marks are to be transferred from them to the Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, mainly for similar use, while in addition structural funding is to be held constant in the budget at its present figure of 0.46% of GDP.
