"This strategic reporting exercise represents a new feature of cohesion policy. It provides timely evidence of the progress in implementation throughout the EU-27 and promotes transparency of measures through integration with the Community’s priorities.
The progress made by the Member States can be considered reasonable, given the context of serious deterioration in the socio-economic situation due to the global crisis and to the reform made to the policy for the period 2007-2013. In many respects, there is still an obvious gap between different EU regions. Progress varies significantly between countries and across themes: certain strategic areas are facing particular delays in project selection.
Areas of special concern, where an in-depth analysis of the reasons for the delays should be carried out, are the following: the rail sector, certain energy and environmental investments, digital economy, social inclusion, governance and capacity building. Therefore, additional efforts are needed to avoid excessive delays, strengthen performance of the implementation and to ensure higher financial discipline.
Cohesion policy continues to prove its relevance as it contributes considerably to the improvement of the socio-economic environment. The fundamental preconditions for achieving the overall objectives of cohesion policy are sound financial discipline and transparency in the allocation of funds."@en1
