Key recommendations of the High Level Group on Simplification for the post 2020 Cohesion Policy

The High Level Group on monitoring simplification for beneficiaries of the European Structural and Investment Funds was set up by the European Commission in July 2015. This group of 12 experts advises the Commission on how to cut red tape in the management and access to the funds.

The Group was tasked with identifying opportunities to strip cohesion policy rules of unnecessary complexity, in the context of the reflection on the post 2020 budgetary framework.
