EU cohesion policy funding supporting the health sector, helping the economy and protecting jobs.
In the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, the EU cohesion policy has turned into a crisis response tool. The European Commission proposed numerous changes to its cohesion policy rulebook so that Member States can fully use all available funds to fight the pandemic. The European Commission has agreed to reallocate Cohesion Policy funds in 16 regional programmes (ROPs) and in 5 centrally managed EU programmes: Knowledge, Education and Development (OP KED), Smart Growth (OP SG), Infrastructure and Environment (OP I&E), Eastern Poland (OP EP), Digital Poland (OP DP) to help tackle the effects of the coronavirus crisis in Poland.
