About cohesion policy

"Cohesion Policy is a development policy aiming at improving the conditions for sustainable growth and jobs, well-being, and quality of the environment in the EU regions and at strengthening the integration of regional economies. In doing so, it allows all EU citizens, wherever they live, to contribute to and benefit from the shared political project of a European space with a high degree of development, cohesion and solidarity." Dirk Ahner - Director General of DG REGIO at the European Commission.
