 President, I would like to welcome you both to a session of the CO1 on behalf of the EPP. The whole of the European Union is having to face up to the COVID-19 crisis and our citizens need our support. But obviously, we have to look at the welfare of our member states and our citizens. We have to look at the effects and the impact of COVID and know that they will last at quite a long time. And obviously, it's our regions where we're closer to our citizens and we have to act swiftly in order to properly tackle the well-defined challenges. We have the reinforced MFF and the economic recovery proposal, which were published at the end of May. And these have been very much welcomed because they are heading in the right direction and they have been welcomed in this way by the Committee of Regions. Obviously, the package is designed to respond to the consequences of the COVID crisis and to deal with the problems that have been triggered by this. Obviously, we have to look at the economies of our member states. But what we have to do is stem the spread of COVID-19. So obviously, we have to look at the health sector. We have to guarantee the safety of our citizens and we have to try and strengthen our own health services in the face of a second wave of the crisis and work on a vaccine. Then of course, we have the funds that we have to allocate these. These funds have to be properly managed with agreement between the local and regional authorities and not just allocated from Brussels or the national government state. You yourself have experience, I have experience of this as the leader of the Mazowiecki region and especially when it comes to providing PPE for the health authorities. We have to look at the consequences of the COVID crisis and obviously monitor the situation now that we are easing the measures and gradually lifting the restrictions on our borders and we have to obviously ensure that we coordinate our actions so the action is safe. We need a cohesion, solidarity, convergence between the member states and obviously this is going to pose a challenge so that we can intensify our work to cooperate properly, mobilize the right kind of investment, act at the global level and make sure that we do have the right kind of governance. We're thinking in terms of values like cohesion, convergence and solidarity of course because we do have a tried and tested mechanism that's based on these values that we have to orient efforts obviously in certain sectors right across the regions of the member states. We have to look at industry. We have to guarantee jobs, protect jobs so that we have jobs for our citizens. We have to have a high value supply change and we have to obviously intensify measures and the cohesion policy. We have to make sure that we support children, prevent poverty and do away with inequalities. So obviously we need a position based on compromise so that we can have a fair solution across all regions, that we need a fair method so that we can act across the regions and we are going to have to implement these measures quickly as possible so that we do have the necessary funds as quickly as possible. Obviously we have the AMFF, an expenditure and there is a proposal to render this more flexible and have transfer of funds between, money is between different funds and perhaps raise the ceiling. And obviously other sectors we have to look at like culture and tourism and there is a budget of the Committee of Regions and we have seen that Speaker Breaks off. Thank you very much.
