(7) In order to identify the type of activities which can be supported by the ERDF and the Cohesion Fund, specific policy objectives adapted to different situations for providing support from those funds should be laid down to ensure that they contribute to one or more of common policy objectives set out in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/xxx [new CPR] increasing added value in each region and to creating jobs. These objectives should in no way detract from the crucial overall objective of reducing disparities between levels of development in the EU’s various regions and the backwardness of the least favoured regions.

ERDF support under the Investment for jobs and growth goal should therefore be concentrated on key Unionalso take into account collectively defined priorities, in line with policy objectives laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/xxx [new CPR].

That thematic concentration should be attained at national level while allowing for flexibility at the level of individual programmes and between the three groups of Member States formed according to respective gross national income.
