"Cohesion policy is vital for eliminating the disparities between Europe’s regions, exiting the crisis and achieving smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. In spite of what has been achieved, there are still regions whose development is lagging behind. This creates the need for more and better targeted measures aimed at reducing the social and economic imbalances in Europe and combating poverty and social exclusion. What is required to increase the effectiveness of cohesion policy is better interaction between the Structural Funds, as well as better coordination with the other EU financial instruments and domestic assistance. Making the operational programmes sufficiently flexible would also play a key role in ensuring that they are as relevant as possible to the surrounding conditions. We need to move towards reducing the administrative burdens faced by beneficiaries, including by making wider use of
Government facilities, and towards strengthening the role played by local and regional authorities, as well as socio-economic partners. By way of conclusion, I would like to emphasise that, in order to achieve genuine social, economic and territorial cohesion and ensure that every European citizen has a good place to live and work, the size of the cohesion policy funds in the next programming period must be at least the same as in the current period."@en1
