Jeg glæder mig over denne forøgelse af finansieringsrammen, men det bør bemærkes, at perioden 2000-2006 er længere end den foregående, at tallene bør sammelignes i faste og ikke løbende størrelser, og at investeringerne i infrastruktur i Unionen er faldet fra 1, 5 % af BNP til 0, 9 % i de seneste år.
I welcome this increase in funding, but it should be noted that the period from 2000 to 2006 is longer than the previous period, that figures must be compared in real terms and not in current terms, and that investments in the Union's infrastructures have fallen from 1.5 % to 0.9 % of the GDP in recent years.
