Amendment 88 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Expresses the view that the less developed regions with negative demographic trends or remote ones with low accessibility should be targeted more intensively by ERDF and CF transport infrastructure investments, while additional sources and delivery methods should be expanded in the transition and more developed regions; notes that in some cases the most effective way to benefit less developed regions may be to invest in reducing bottlenecks that occur in better- off regions on key TEN-T corridors or strategic linking routes; bottlenecks in more developed regions can significantly impact the ability of people in less developed regions to travel and move goods efficiently and gain access to markets;
