The issues discussed were the objectives of cohesion policy, multilevel governance, reforms and investments in the context of the new proposed national plans after 2027. The Council also focused on the ways in which cohesion policy can be effectively adapted to the current fiscal and fiscal period to European Union.

Mr Papathanassis, during his intervention, emphasized: “The goals of cohesion, as defined in the treaty, and the multilevel governance should be at the core of the new architecture of cohesion policy after 2027. In this context, our country considers our country to be necessary and the next multi -year fiscal framework, Local authorities, with full respect for the principle of supplementary, as provided for in current regulations. In addition, it is necessary to maintain structural reforms so that cohesion policy can become even more meaningful and targeted and to contribute through these reforms to economic and social convergence. The current budgetary period and the intermediate revision of cohesion policy programs are a critical opportunity to adapt to new data on the goals of cohesion policy and priorities of the European Union. Europe’s cohesion (economic, social, spatial) is a prerequisite for its competitiveness, its autonomy, its defense capacity, the consistency of its societies and of course for the creation of more jobs. Maintaining a sufficient, at least in today’s terms, and secured budget enhances the maintenance of European unity and the successful treatment of existing and future challenges for a more competitive, more durable and mostly more socially fair Europe. “
