Recital 13
(13) The Commission Communications ‘The EU Budget Review’12 and ‘A budget for Europe 2020’ underline the importance of focusing funding on actions with clear European added value, i.e. where the Union intervention can bring additional value compared to action of Member States alone. Actions covered by this Regulation should contribute to the development of mutual trust between Member States, increasing cross-border cooperation and networking and achieving correct, coherent and consistent application of Union law. Funding activities should also contribute to achieving effective and better knowledge of Union law and policies by all those concerned and provide a sound analytical basis for the support and the development of Union legislation and policies, as well as for their enforcement and proper implementation. Union intervention allows for those actions to be pursued consistently across the Union and brings economies of scale. Moreover, the European Union is in a better position than Member States to address cross-border situations and to provide a European platform for mutual learning.
