Cohesion Policy 2014-2020: NGO priority recommendations for trialogues

Environmental NGOs would like to highlight opportunities for decision makers to improve key issues of the Cohesion Policy regulations, in order to maximise the benefits that can be delivered to European regions by the future Cohesion Policy and other Common Strategic Framework funds. In addition, they will ensure that the future Cohesion Policy better contributes to reach the Europe 2020 targets, create regional green jobs, enhance economic opportunities and address environmental challenges. This briefing focuses on priority issues of the European Regional Development Fund’s Regulation, the Common Provisions Regulation and the Cohesion Fund’s Regulation.
