Máximas de 2004 - 1
“As of 1980, these three countries (Espanha, Portugal e Grécia) on average had per capita GDPs that were about 65 percent of those of the nine countries that belonged to the EU at that time. And in 2003, their per capita GDP still stood at slightly above 70 percent of the nine members, evidence that injection of EU Structural Funds, aimed at compensating for the structural problems in the poorer members of the union, has not improved the situation much over the past two decades.”
