"Cohesion policy is one of the main policies of the EU for addressing the economic crisis. It was the spearhead of the European Economic Recovery Plan adopted in 2008 and the recent increase in the percentage of cofinancing for projects implemented within the framework of cohesion policy is yet another example of the contribution made by the Structural Funds to recovery attempts. During the informal summit on 30 January 2012, the EU-27 leaders agreed that resources should be used to address youth unemployment and to increase funding for small and medium-sized enterprises, by using the EUR 82 billion yet to be allocated to the Member States by the European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund. However, it must be made clear that the EUR 82 billion in question has simply not yet been spent on specific projects; these are not unallocated resources. Finally, the following paradox needs to be emphasised: even though the Member States are supporting efforts to recover from the crisis via the Structural Funds, some of them are proposing cuts both in the future cohesion policy which they extol and in the annual Community budgets, which will create numerous problems with the most important development policy of the EU."@en1
