Economic Recovery: Cohesion Policy is paramount for EU economic growth. Danuta Hübner MEP and Othmar Karas MEP

"Cohesion policy is the motor of growth and the wisest solution for the economical crisis" - Danuta Hübner MEP (EPP/PL), Member of the CRIS committee and Co-thematic Leader.

"Future cohesion policy should offer regions good practice models in a more robust way to enable those less competitive to open up to global competition without protective measures. This can be achieved through helping regions to identify measures they can use to increase innovation, productivity and competitiveness", said Danuta Hübner MEP, who initiated today's workshop of the Crisis Committee and is Parliament's rapporteur on the report on the contribution of cohesion policy to the economic recovery: linking crisis exit policy with long term growth and structural change in the Special Committee on the Financial, Economic and Social Crisis.

Othmar Karas MEP (EPP/A), EPP Group Vice-Chairman and EPP Group Coordinator in the CRIS committee, stresses that cohesion is a guarantee for a harmonious territorial, economic and social development. "An effective cohesion policy will sustain a well functioning internal market and a smooth circulation of people. Cohesion Policy is a key element of our response of the financial and economic crisis and should be a cornerstone of the European exit strategy."

In today's workshop panellists underlined that impact of the crisis had been territorially asymmetric and some countries had suffered more than others. The effects of the crisis could thus result in weakened territorial cohesion unless it was countered by policies targeting specific problems in a differentiated manner.

"It is vital that any long-term EU investment strategy supported by the Cohesion Policy be linked to results in terms of competitiveness, innovation, job creation and green growth, improvements in economic cohesion at European level, and especially between old and new Member States", said Karas.

Panel speaker Michael Schneider, President of the EPP Group in the Committee of the Regions, added: "The Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth stands at the heart of Europe's recovery plans and needs to be implemented in cooperation with Europe's local and regional authorities. With its decentralised approach and built-in system of multi-level governance, Cohesion Policy must be considered an important financial instrument for both recovering from the crisis and ensuring continued territorial development and growth."
