About this Amending Process
This consultation aims to invite all AER members to offer their amendment proposals to the Draft Position on Cohesion Policy.
At the Bureau meeting in November 2023, Bureau Members decided to set up a Task Force on Cohesion Policy Co-Chaired by the AER President Albert Castellanos (Catalonia, ES) and AER Vice President Liljana Madjar (Zahodna Slovenija, SI), aiming to examine and formulate policy proposals to shape the future Cohesion Policy post-2027.
Cohesion Policy stands as a cornerstone of the European Union’s efforts to foster economic, social and territorial convergence among its diverse regions. It has not only contributed to a better functioning of the Single Market but has also had significant and positive effects for Europe as a whole. As discussions unfold regarding the future of Cohesion Policy post-2027, it is crucial to underline its vital role in promoting sustainable growth, resilience and inclusivity across the Union.
The Task Force is, therefore, inviting AER member regions to share their proposed changes to the Draft Position.
The amendment proposals can be submitted until 15 May.
Suggested amendments will be discussed and voted by Bureau Members at the Spring Bureau Meeting on 12 June 2024.
