Spain and the other thirteen EU countries exert pressure to avoid the temptation of the European Commission to change the formula with which European cohesion financing. On the doors of the presentation of the next European budget, 14 countries distributed a document –Not paper In communal jargon, in which they stand on a “differentiated and solid budget and the methodology of regional distribution, which reflects various levels of regional development”, given the possibility that the community government centralizes the provision of funds through the capital.
In the preparation of a multi-year financial structure (MFP) for the period 2028-2034, the European commission increased the possibility of managing the means of cohesion, with the help of which the EU is trying to create a certain equality between the regions with a model similar to the one used with the next generation of pandemia. This formula will mean that they were member states who receive money from Brussels, and it is the governments that decide how to distribute money, which in the period from 2021-2027 amounted to 42,556 million euros.
“We confirm our common opinion that only another and solid budget and the distribution methodology based on the region, which reflects various levels of regional development, as well as specific and independent legislation in terms of cohesion policy, can guarantee that the next MFP contribution unit, competitiveness and long -term convergence in all EU regions,” will say in signs, which, according to the signs, are, according to the signs. confessions that recognize these signs, which means “14 countries that”. The budget proposal, which the European Commission will submit on July 16, finally collects centralization.
In addition to Spain, they support the Bulgarian document, the Czech Republic, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia, which are the main receptors of unity of unity.
Local communities and organizations are also in the war. 149 regions of 20 member states, including 17 Spanish autonomous communities, were also struggled against this option. “We are in the very heart of Europe, and we were most effective with effective and selective investment of the EU resources, promoting the European integration project,” they say in a letter sent to the President of the European Commission of Ursul von Der Leyen; Vice -president of cohesion, Raffael is suitable; Vice -President of Roxanne by the Ministry of Health and the commissar responsible for the budget, Piotor Seraphin.
In the letter, they also collect a warning about the growth of the ultra -right and Euro -digital forces: “The results of last year’s European elections showed a growing lack of confidence in European integration.” The policy of cohesion is the main connection between Europeans and the EU. The policy of cohesion is not only the basis of European integration, but also the basis of the economic, social and territorial stability of the European Union. Strengthening regional policy is a prerequisite for the effective functioning of the Unified EU market, ”they add.
Thus, they argue that “specific regulation for all various tools devoted to a cohesion policy that guarantees and respects its fundamental principles, namely a territorial approach based on the spot, association and subsidiary.” “It is necessary to provide European regions with the main role in the process of programming and submitting an application through general management and multi -level management, which guarantees direct negotiations between the regions and the European Commission,” they say.
They also require a “specific budget for a cohesion policy and determination at the EU level, regional appointments indicating resources based on a current consolidated methodology, which takes into account social and economic indicators.”
