The Region’s Strategic Challenges in the Context of Cohesion Policy
New Cohesion Policy should: have a "Lisbon Treaty ORIGIN" and "Europe 2020 DESTINATION"(thematic and territorial concentration, integrated approach) address ALL REGIONS(specific challenges and barriers, endogenous potential, individual development paths) avoid going back to sectoral, centralised and spatially detached approach(spatially-blind intervention is far less efficient) focus on strengthening competitiveness factors in regions lagging behind(right proportion of support for competitiveness and cohesion) be regionalised, simplified and focused on productive instead of quick spending(multi-fund operational programmes, more use of financial engineering instruments) Regional Expectations for Cohesion Policy
