Amendment 444 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 78
78. Expects the global amount of direct payments to be kept intact under the next MFF, as they generate clear EU added value and strengthen the single market by avoiding distortions of competition between Member States; opposes any renationalisation and any national co- financing in that respect; points out, furthermore, that equalising the level of direct payments among the Member States is essential in order to ensure a level playing field in the EU’s single market; stresses the need to increase funding in line with responses to the various cyclical crises in sensitive sectors, to create new instruments that can mitigate price volatility and to increase funding for Programmes of Options Specifically Relating to Remoteness and Insularity (POSEI); concludes, therefore, that the CAP budget in the next MFF should be at least maintained at its current level for the EU-27;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 78 b (new)
78b. Points out that the numerous EU rural areas face serious problems such as low employment, underdevelopment of technical and social infrastructure, lack of or low level of basic services, which in turn leads to their rapid depopulation; stresses, therefore, that these areas need more support while the criteria for the distribution of the funds should continue to take into account differences in the level of rural development in Member States;

Amendment 483 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 81
81. Stresses that cohesion policy post- 2020 should remain the main investment policy of the European Union covering all EU regions while concentrating the majority of the resources on the most vulnerable ones; believes that, beyond the goal of reducing the disparities between levels of development and enhancing convergence as enshrined in the Treaty, it should focus on the achievement of the broad EU political objectives and proposes, therefore, that under the next MFF, the three cohesion policy funds – the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Cohesion Fund – should concentrate mainly on providing support for innovation, digitalisation, reindustrialisation, SMEs, transport, climate change adaptation, employment and social inclusion; calls, moreover, for a reinforced territorial cooperation component and an urban dimension for the policy; at the same time, calls for greater use to be made of cohesion policy instruments and funding for sustainable development in rural areas in order to counteract development delays and depopulation in those areas;
