Recital 5
(5) The ERDF should contribute to the Europe 2020 strategyeconomic, social and territorial cohesion, thus ensuring greater concentration of ERDF support on the priorities of the Union. According to the category of regions supported, the support from the ERDF should be concentrated on research and innovation, small and medium-sized enterprises and climate change mitigation. The degree of concentration should take into account the level of development of the region as well as the specific needs of regions whose GDP per capita for the 2007-13 period was less than 75% of the average GDP of the EU-25 for the reference perioda number of priorities. The cohesion policy contributes to a great extent to the achievement of the EU 2020 strategy objectives. As Article 176 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union points out the aim of the ERDF is to help to overcome regional imbalances in the Union, taking into account regional and local development needs.
