Any other alternative, including the option proposed by the alternative motion from the PPE-DE Group, might have made it impossible for Member States to use the Cohesion Funds, as part of the Cohesion Policy, for transport infrastructure projects other than the priority TEN-T projects and, by implication, this could have deprived Romania of the opportunity to use the Cohesion Funds for the transport sector, funds which Romania is greatly in need of.
Orice altă alternativă, inclusiv cea propusă prin moţiunea alternativă a PPE-DE, ar fi putut determina imposibilitatea statelor din cadrul politicii de coeziune să utilizeze fondurile de coeziune pentru proiectele de infrastructuri de transport, altele decât cele prioritare TEN-T şi, implicit, ar fi putut priva România de posibilitatea utilizării fondurilor de coeziune pentru sectorul de transport, fonduri de care România are mare nevoie.
