Amendment 58 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
2. Points out that anEU economic governance system (the framework and its implementation mechanism "European Semester)" was put in place to provide for the coordination of actionfiscal policy's action and structural reforms at the EU and national levels and to support the delivery of the strategy; stresses that cohesion policy for 2007- 2013, aligned with the predecessor Lisbon Strategy and having similar core objectives, was already in the implementation phase when the Europe 2020 strategy was launched, and that reprogramming in accordance with the new strategy objectives would therefore have been both difficult and counterproductive; points out, nevertheless, that cohesion policy, through ‘Lisbon earmarking', substantially supported the implementation of the strategy, as shown by the sixth cohesion report and by several Commission communications and studies;

Amendment 69 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
4. Emphasises that cohesion policy for 2014-2020, the key EU instrument for investment in the real economy, is fully aligned with the Europe 2020 objectives; stresses in this context that, through thematic concentration, the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds) are oriented towards 11 thematic objectives derived straight from the Europe 2020 objectives, and that preconditions linked directly to these thematic objectives have been established in order to ensure that investments are made in such a way as to maximise their effectiveness; stresses that cohesion policy should contribute to EU policies such as digital single market, the energy union, single capital market, the social policy, macro-regional strategies, urban agenda, territorial agenda, investing in SMEs and smart growth, cutting red tapes, therefore contributing to strengthening single market and avoiding fragmentation;

Amendment 153 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
16. Highlights the importance of the new EU investment instrument, the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), and emphasises that itwhich will support mobilisation up to € 315 billion of the additional investments with the aim of closing investment gap in EU. EFSI should be complementary and additional to the ESI Funds; points out that the EFSI is not clearly linked to the Europe 2020 strategy, but that through its objectives it contributes to the implementation of the strategy; stresses, moreover, the imperative of ensuring full coherence and synergies between all EU instruments, in order to avoid overlapping or contradictions among them or between the different levels of policy implementation; appreciates that the review of the Europe 2020 strategy, as the EU's long-term strategic framework for growth and jobs, must address this challenge with a view to using all the available resources effectively and achieving the expected results as regards the overarching strategic goals;
