For the next long-term EU budget 2021-2027, the Commission proposes to modernise Cohesion Policy, the EU's main investment policy and one of its most concrete expressions of solidarity.
The main features of the Commission's proposal for a modernised Cohesion Policy are:
1. A focus on key investment priorities, where the EU is best placed to deliver
2. A Cohesion Policy for all regions and a more tailored approach to regional development
3. Fewer, clearer, shorter rules and a more flexible framework
4. A strengthened link with the European Semester to improve the investment environment in Europe
