Recital 5
(5) The ERDF should contribute to the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, thus ensuring greater concentration of ERDF support on the priorities of the Union. According to the category of regions supported, the support from the ERDF under the investment for growth and jobs goal should be concentrated on research and innovation, small and medium-sized enterprises and climate change mitigationinformation and communication technologies (ICT), small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and promoting a low carbon economy. This concentration should be attained at national level allowing for flexibility at the level of operational programmes and in different categories of regions and should be adjusted, if appropriate, to take into account Cohesion Fund resources allocated to supporting the investment priorities referred to in Article 3(a) of Regulation (EU) No [...]/2013 [CF]. The degree of concentration should take into account the level of development of the region, the contribution of Cohesion Fund resources if applicable, as well as the specific needs of regions whose GDP per capita for the 2007-13 period was less than 75% of the average GDP of the EU-25 for the reference period, regions designated with the phasing-out status in the 2007- 2013 period and NUTS 2 level regions consisting solely of islands which are situated in Member States which receive support from the Cohesion Fund or which are outermost regions.
