"I endorsed the resolution on the state of play and future synergies for increased effectiveness between the ERDF and other structural funds. Research conducted in Poland to identify barriers to the take-up of structural funds has shown that the two main obstacles are the lack of comprehensive information and the bureaucratic system of applying for EU funds and accounting for their use.
In particular, I would like to draw attention to the need for simplification of the procedure of applying for funds, at both national and regional level. For effective use to be made of all funds, this is a priority. I also appeal to the Commission to simplify the concept of cohesion policy and focus it on results, and not on complicated monitoring procedures. The new policy must be characterised by greater flexibility, proportionality and visibility in the use of the funds. Simplification of procedures would be helped by harmonising the rules concerning management, eligibility, audit and reporting of projects financed by the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the European Fisheries Fund.
Greater coordination of aid from different funds will make the search for solutions to complex problems more effective. For example, the problem of unemployment requires training for the unemployed, but also needs promotion of enterprise and support for structural infrastructure. A variety of funds come into play, here. Only effective synergy between them will bring about a reduction in unemployment. A comprehensive approach of this kind may also help to improve the access of potential beneficiaries to essential information."@en1
