                        CONVERGENCE REGIONS ON THE WAY TO COHESION

For the next programming period of structural funds that begins as from 2014, a group of European regions will probably exceed the 75% of the EU average GDP and, as a consequence, fall out convergence objective. Many of these regions have decided to organise themselves to create a common structure in Brussels that allows to transmit their opinions and to make contributions on the future of the Regional Policy. This common structure or network has been denominated “Convergence Regions on the Way to Cohesion” (CROWC).

Taking into account the special situation of fragility, it is essential for these regions to benefit from a transitional aid as from 2014. The final goal is to consolidate in real terms the falling out of the Convergence Objective and to prepare them for the new scenario. In other words, a dramatic cut would suppose a step back in the progress made until now.

Excellent results from a good implementation of the structural funds and, therefore, the correct application of the Regional Policy in our territories, lead us to make contributions in the context of the definition of the Regional Policy as from 2014 and the measures that will be due to adopt.

During the Open Days week, we will tackle all this issues in order to raise awareness of the importance of Europe policies at regional level.
