Members of the Environment Committee clearly cannot be aware of the undue delays that any non-approval of Structural Funds programmes would create, nor indeed of the new budgetary procedure that could involve not only delays but the loss of millions in funds in the case of the UK to Merseyside, South Yorkshire, the Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, Cornwall and the Isle of Wight.
Miljøudvalgets medlemmer kan umuligt være klar over de urimelige forsinkelser, som enhver manglende godkendelse af strukturfondsprogrammerne vil medføre eller den nye budgetprocedure, der ikke blot vil medføre forsinkelser, men også tab af millioner i støtte, for Det Forenede Kongeriges vedkommende til Merseyside, South Yorkshire, the Highlands and Islands, Nordirland, Cornwall og Isle of Wight.
