Jeg anser det for vigtigt, at de central- og østeuropæiske lande i disse programmer står i jævnbyrdige partnerskabsforhold til de nuværende medlemsstater, og at der således ikke er tale om bistandsforhold.
In my opinion it is important that Central and Eastern European countries should enjoy a relationship of equal partnership with the existing Member States under this programme, and should not therefore be seen as aid recipients.
