🇪🇺 European Economic and Social Committee's Section for Economic and Monetary Union and Economic and Social Cohesion (ECO) is leading the preparation of the opinion "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐩𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐔 𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭". 🔍 In light of our engagement in this subject, CDI's Director Krisela Hackaj was extended an invitation to contribute to the study group meeting held last week. During the session, she conveyed CDI's perspectives on how granting candidate countries early access to the cohesion policy toolbox 🧰 can address existing gaps in the Enlargement policy. 🎯 Furthermore, she emphasized the necessity of a development-focused Enlargement policy to enhance social, economic, and territorial cohesion. It is crucial to incorporate both the #partnership principle and #solidarity into the future EU's policy toolbox for the region. #Cohesion #Solidarity #Enlargement #GrowthPlan #WesternBalkans

🌐 #LocalDataTuesday Did you know 1/3 of the EU Budget goes to #CohesionPolicy, supporting vital investments in EU countries? We advocate for a policy empowering Local and Regional Governments, emphasising core principles, strengthened partnerships, and lessons learned. Let's build a simpler, more effective framework for a resilient and inclusive Europe together. 🇪🇺 🌍 Most importantly, during multiple crises, European citizens have witnessed that Local and Regional Governments are always at the forefront of the social, economic, and territorial response. They lead in implementing emergency solutions during crises like the COVID pandemic, tackling the climate emergency, welcoming refugees, and providing solutions to citizens. Cohesion Policy is a key driver for local and regional public investment, benefiting not only urban areas but also rural and remote territories facing market failure. It ensures access to essential public services and equal opportunities, fostering a balanced and sustainable Europe. 📈 Explore our position paper on the future of Cohesion Policy: https://lnkd.in/eCtUuges #EU #LocalGovernance #InclusiveEurope #CohesionPolicy #EuropeanUnion #RegionalDevelopment #LocalGovernment #SustainableEurope #Resilience #Inclusion

Day 2 of July #EESCPlenary Today's second debate discussed the Resolution of the European Economic and Social Committee "No one should be left behind! For an inclusive and participatory cohesion policy in support of social, economic and territorial #cohesion" Find some key messages of our members below 🔽 💬 Wauthier Robyns de Schneidauer: #CohesionPolicy cannot be a footnote or an afterthought in the setup of the new European Commission The EU has to increase the effectiveness of cohesion instruments, both as a remedy to structural lagging and as a proof of solidarity when disaster strikes 💬Katrina Zarina #Cohesion policy is an answer for a globally competitive, internally resilient, and secure Europe and a pathway to increased economic growth, social stability, and territorial security. We need to focus on improving this policy, not destroying it. 💬David Sventek: We cannot manage the new challenges ahead of us from Brussels or the capitals alone. We need to harness the talent, energy and experience of people, institutions and companies from across the EU to be part of the solution. Cohesion policy offers them this active involvement, inviting them to become co-creators of their own future.

Una ulteriore interessante riflessione di Eurocities sull’impatto dei #PNRR sulle #città “Unfortunately, the evidence outlined in a new report co-developed by Eurocities – Urban Recovery Watch: Empowering Cities in the EU Green and Digital Transition – suggests that the plan’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) is not solid enough to drive the urban actions required for a just, green and digital transformation and reverse the effects of austerity.”
NEW REPORT 📣 In the aftermath of the Covid-19 crisis, the EU’s unprecedented NextGenerationEU recovery plan was presented as the means to support Europe’s short term economic growth and accelerate its just, green and digital transformation. However, as the EU prepares for the recovery plan’s mid-term review, a new report from Eurocities and CIDOB (Barcelona Centre for International Affairs) says the plan and its funding instrument, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), are failing to meet the long-term investment needs of Europe’s cities. The 'Urban Recovery Watch' report says the RRF is not solid enough to drive the urban actions required to reverse the effects of austerity. The report finds that Member States’ plans have been centralised at national level, with a lack of consideration for the needs of local governments. Despite EU attempts to present the recovery plan as an alternative to Cohesion funds, the report says it will not solve public investment issues at the local level.

Sustainable urban transformation is a major social and economic imperative. According to a report by Eurocities and CIDOB (Barcelona Centre for International Affairs) (CIDOB), the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) lacks the resources to drive urban change. While the provisions of the European #NextGenerationEU recovery plan may not fully meet the scale of resources required for this transformation, we must continue to leverage all opportunities for progress. Taking into account the insights and perspectives of organizations like Eurocities for future European funding would be instrumental in addressing this gap. They highlight the importance of aligning future European funding with the growing and evolving needs of our cities. By prioritizing sustainability and inclusivity in urban design, we can unlock even greater potential for the health of our cities. European Commission

My latest research on the relationship between EU Cohesion Policy and the RRF has just been published with @SpringerNature in Comparative European Politics. You can read it open access here: https://rdcu.be/dJQex . The study identifies and tests four expectations about the timing and absorption, possible displacement effects, administrative burden, and the impacts to be achieved by the two policies, and tackles the following research questions: is it realistic to expect the RRF and cohesion policy to work synergistically, given the diversity in their delivery arrangements? Is the RRF proving sufficiently effective and simple, to represent a good model for future EU cohesion policy? Could the coordinative Europeanization that is typical of the RRF be a viable decision-making and implementation mode beyond emergency? The article is part of a Special Issue with Stella Ladi on the development EU - member states relationship during permacrisis. Special thanks to Stella Ladi Angelos Angelou, the referees, and to the reviewers of the whole Special Issue, Theofanis Exadaktylos and paolo graziano, for their useful feedback!

Spent most of the past two weeks in Brussels, speaking on #deepenergyrenovation as the main instrument to mitigate #energypoverty at the #BelgiumRenovationWeek, #EnergyMeasures and #ComAct closing conferences, among other events. And while it would take more than a post to summarise all impressions, it is quite obvious that few key messages prevail on all stages: 🏘️ The scale of the problem is huge, but so is the market opportunity; 🤝Renovation is complex as it relates to people, but if there’s trust among the local communities, it’s doable; to create trust, however, we need less populism and more continuity and reliability of policies and financing schemes; 🌿the benefits of renovation far exceed the plain energy and financing savings - they relate to health, they stimulate local and national economies, they reconfirm social values, they even save lives. And while I do have excellent pictures of full conference rooms😎, I think the video bellow speaks a bit more convincingly for the scale and the complexity of the problem, but also for the solutions that arise from the work with #municipalities and #localcommunities - something we take pride in: https://lnkd.in/dfbCP7jN Next stop: the Bulgarian #roundtable on #SustainableEnergyFinancing on 30th January, with confirmed participation of the ministers of #energy and #environment, and deputy ministers of regional development, energy and #finance, among other prominent speakers. Btw, registration for online participation is still open, as English translation will be provided for the first three sessions. More info here: https://lnkd.in/dt3twpKt

Indeed, the importance of #CohesionPolicy for the implementation of the #ERAHubs concept seems to be very relevant. In particular, if we consider less developed regions in order to strengthen their contribution to #ERA In addition, #S3 governance, which is based on the quadruple helix approach, can form the basis for #ERAHubs as a multi-stakeholder platform in the regions.
