Ms Kata Tütt:

Yes, absolutely. Ireland is one of the most credible countries to protect the cohesion policy. Because of what it did, Ireland is the champion of this – how cohesion policy can help transformation, not in theory but in reality. It gives credibility coming from the Irish Presidency. We are here to prepare for the Irish Presidency. I know already there is ongoing thinking together with the next members of the trio, Greece and Lithuania. The more allies Ireland can bring in, the better. We want to put the spotlight on the cohesion policy – what it is and why it is important not just for the Presidency of the EU but for the future.
