(5a) The promotion of children’s rights as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is an explicit objective of EU policies (Article 3 of TEU). The EU and Member States should make appropriate use of the ERDF to support actions promoting effective interventions that contribute to the realisation of children’s rights.

(8) In an increasingly interconnected world and in view of the demographic and migration dynamics, it is clear that Union migration policy requires a common approach that relies on the synergies and complementarities of the different funding instruments. In order to ensure coherent, strong and consistent support for solidarity and responsibility-sharing efforts between Member States in managing migration, the ERDF should provide support to facilitate the long-term integration of migrants, irrespective of their residence status. Member States should ensure that local and regional authorities have access to ERDF resources to be made available to them to an adequate extent for the purpose of tackling migrant integration at local and regional level.

(8a) A just transition to a socially and environmentally sustainable economy should contribute to consolidate future- oriented development paths through better matching local and regional skills and strategies with decarbonisation commitments, and building capacities and support schemes to this end. Just transition processes are long-term, strongly depend on educational measures and commitments, and should be developed in a bottom-up approach and in cooperation with relevant public, economic and social partners as well as civil society bodies.

(9) In order to support the efforts of Member States and regions in facing new challenges and ensuring a high level of security for their citizens as well as the prevention ofinclusiveness for all citizens, involving a prevention policy to avoid marginalisation or radicalisation, while relying on the synergies and complementarities with other Union policies, investments under the ERDF should contribute to security in areas where there is a need to ensure safe and secure public spaces and critical infrastructure, such as transport and energy, as well as to the sustainability of cohesive societies, ensuring open cultural and public spaces.

(19) This Regulation should set out the different types of activities the costs of which may be supported by means of investments from the ERDF and the Cohesion Fund, under their respective objectives as set out in the TFEU. The Cohesion Fund should be able to support investments in the environment and in TEN-T. With regard to the ERDF, the list of activities should be simplified and it should be able to support investments in infrastructure, investments in relation to access to services, with a particular focus on disadvantaged, marginalised and segregated communities, productive investments in SME's, equipment, software and intangible assets, as well as measures with regard to information, communication, studies, networking, cooperation, exchange of experiences and activities involving clusters. In order to support the programme implementation, both funds should also be able to support technical assistance activities. Finally, in order to support provide for a broader range of interventions for Interreg programmes, the scope should be enlarged to also include the sharing a broad range of facilities and human resources and costs linked to measures within the scope of the ESF+.
