Remarks

The action taken by the Union pursuant to Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union shall be designed to strengthen the economic and social cohesion of the enlarged Union in order to promote the harmonious, balanced and sustainable development of the Union. This action shall be taken with the aid of the cohesion policy funds, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and other existing financial instruments. It shall aim to reduce the economic, social and territorial disparities which have arisen, particularly in countries and regions whose development is lagging behind, in connection with the speeding-up of economic and social restructuring and population ageing.
The action taken under the cohesion policy funds shall incorporate, at national and regional level, the Union's priorities for sustainable development by strengthening growth, competitiveness, employment and social inclusion, as well as protecting and improving the quality of the environment.
The ‘Convergence’ objective shall be geared to speeding up the convergence of the least-developed Member States and regions by improving conditions for growth and employment through increasing and improving the quality of investment in physical and human capital, the development of innovation and of the knowledge society, adaptability to economic and social changes, protection and improvement of the environment, as well as administrative efficiency. This objective shall constitute the cohesion policy funds' priority. The actions taken under the cohesion policy funds will respect equal opportunities for women and men.
Part of this appropriation is intended to support improvements in child care to enable children to live in a family-type setting. This support includes:






—


cooperation between and technical assistance to non-governmental organisations and local authorities, including assisting them in finding out which projects are eligible for Union funding,










—


identification and exchange of best practices as well as the broader application of these practices, including thorough monitoring at child level.




Part of this appropriation is intended for financing sustainable and environmentally friendly actions (Green New Deal) that provide for reconciling economic, social and environmental development requirements and for recovery of European regions after the economic and financial crisis.
Part of this appropriation is intended to be used to address the problem of intra-regional disparities and provide specific assistance to people who live in disadvantaged territorial units that constitute pockets of poverty in European regions. This assistance should focus mainly on:






—


integrating communities living in pockets of poverty into the mainstream regional population via civic education, promoting tolerance and cultural understanding,










—


strengthening local authorities with regard to needs assessment, project planning and project implementation,










—


reducing intra-regional economic and social disparities via a temporary set of affirmative actions, focusing on employment and education.
