Cohesion Reports

Cohesion policy has had a proven effect in helping the European Union's regions to develop, but it will face some new challenges in years ahead. Those are the findings in the European Commission's latest report on economic and social cohesion.

A full Cohesion report is published every three years; in the years in between, a progress report on economic and social cohesion is published.
