lpv:translated text	"This report, drafted by Mrs Sanchez-Schmid, is on Objective 3: a challenge for territorial cooperation – the future agenda for cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation. We can think of Objective 3, European territorial cooperation, as the ‘poor relation of the Structural Funds’. Despite the fact that the population in cross-border areas amounts to nearly 200 million, this objective is granted only 2.52% of cohesion funding. Given that EU cohesion policy is part of a framework of solidarity encompassing the 27 Member States and their 271 regions, and that it aims to end the economic and social disparities that exist therein, it is crucial that the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) increase the funding allocated to this objective, as these are regions with serious competitiveness problems, but are essential to the EU’s sustainability. I therefore agree with the rapporteur’s proposal to strengthen the ‘Territorial Cooperation’ objective by increasing the overall budget from 2.5% to 7%, adopting measures to simplify the implementation of programmes and creating European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation (EGTCs), which are essential to the functioning of cross-border governance systems."@en1
