(4) Reforms are by their very nature complex processes that require a complete chain of highly-specialised knowledge and skills. Addressing structural reforms in a variety of public policy areas is challenging since their benefits often take time to materialise. Therefore, early and efficient design and implementation is crucial, be it for crisis-struck or structurally-weak economies. In this contextHowever, the provision of support by the Union in the form of technical assistance has been crucial in supporting the economic adjustment ofhas not always achieved its intended aims, as shown by what has happened in Greece and Cyprus in the last years.

(7) Against this background, it is necessary to establish a Structural Reform Support Programme ('the Programme') with the objective of strengthening the capacity of Member States to prepare and implement growth-enhancing administrative and structural reforms, including through assistance for the efficient and effective use of the Union funds. The Programme is intended to contribute to the achievement of common goals towards obtaining economic recovery, job creation, boosting Europe's competitiveness and stimulating investment in the real economy. This programme should not on any account be used by the Commission as a pretext to encroach upon the sovereignty of the Member States. The Commission’s actions must be overseen by the Member States, and it must intervene only at their specific request and in accordance with arrangements they have laid down.
