(4) It is thus appropriate to stress in the general objective of the Programme – within its contribution towards responding to economic and social challenges – that enhancing cohesion, competitiveness, productivity, sustainable growth, and job creation should also contribute to the preparations for future participation in the euro area by those Member States whose currency is not the euro. A thorough ex- post evaluation of how the Programme has assisted structural reforms in Member States is a necessary part of that general objective.
