"Since 2009, the date of the first report entitled ‘The urban dimension of cohesion policy in the new programming period’, new contributions have been made to this issue, and it has been further developed. The purpose of this report is to follow the previous report up, highlighting several aspects of the urban dimension of cohesion policy that the Committee on Regional Development identifies as crucial or challenging for future cohesion policy, which should become a fully-valued and effective policy for EU cities. I voted in favour, in view of the utmost importance of this topic in order for small and medium-sized towns and cities to realise their potential. I agree with the rapporteur’s warning that the ‘projects for money’ approach should be replaced by a ‘money for projects’ approach. Indeed, projects should not be drafted in order to take up the funds available, but rather to meet strategic objectives. Experience shows that in many cases, project ideas emerge on the basis of available funding, instead of being based on real needs and on strategic priorities. Combating this is one of the main challenges of development policy and also of cohesion policy."@en1
