"I welcomed this document, because EU cohesion policy has contributed greatly to the increased productivity achieved by all regions of the European Union during the previous and current funding periods. Ex-post evaluations have shown a significant reduction in economic, social and regional disparities. These developments are having a positive impact on social security and investment in environmental protection. Cohesion policy was intended to be a counterpart to the single market and to foster the development of an innovative and protective Europe based on solidarity in the face of the challenges associated with globalisation, demographic change and resource conservation, and the intrinsic potential of all regions should be exploited to boost growth and regional and social cohesion. Cohesion policy is relevant to citizens, because it brings Europe into people’s daily lives. The cohesion and structural policies have proved flexible in crisis situations and have made a crucial contribution to various national economic stimulus and training programmes. European structural policy is making a major contribution towards overcoming the economic and financial crisis, as it tends to be oriented towards innovation and removing disparities, strongly encouraging European regions to upgrade infrastructure, increase regional innovation potential and boost environmentally sustainable development. A comprehensive and well-funded EU cohesion policy in all European regions continues to be essential, given the economic and social imbalances in the regions, the geographical disadvantages of certain regions (particularly the outermost regions), as well as specific structural problems and the need to adapt to new challenges."@en1
