Structural Funds

European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) and the Cohesion Fund (CF) are key to implementing EU cohesion policy and supporting regional development, sustainable growth and quality employment. The General Regulation for the European Structural and Investment Funds for 2014-2020 strengthens these priorities, including (notably the European Social Fund) employment, fair mobility, the fight against poverty, social inclusion, education and training.

The European Code of Conduct concerning Partnership, issued by the European Commission in line with the partnership principle, set out in Article 5 of the new Structural Fund Regulation, must be actively implemented.

    EU Finances: budget must increase

    Commenting on the European Commission Reflection Paper on the Future of EU finances, Liina Carr of the European Trade Union Confederation said “The EU budget needs to be redesigned to meet urgent and future challenges, and to increase.” “This reflection paper that does not reflect the Commission’s often stated wish for a more social Europe. On the contrary, the Commission seems determined to reduce the EU’s spending on social priorities and tackling regional inequality.”
