A modernised Cohesion policy: The mid-term review

The Commission proposes, in partnership with national, regional and local authorities, to use the Mid-term Review of Cohesion policy to maximise its contribution to the current and emerging political priorities of the Union and increase its impact on economic, social and territorial cohesion.

To facilitate the process, the Commission proposes targeted amendments to the regulatory framework of the Cohesion policy funds to (i) align investment priorities with the evolving economic, societal and geopolitical context as well as with our climate and environment objectives and (ii) introduce greater flexibility and incentives to facilitate the rapid deployment of resources and accelerate the implementation of the programmes.
