Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Underlines that regional policy implementation is crucial for the success of the Europe 2020 strategy and the deepening of the single market; points out that EU structural funding should be allocated in a dynamic, forward-looking manner, i.e. so as to cushion further the possible adverse effects on regions of international trade agreements and to prepare EU regions for socioeconomic change, in the framework of a renewed global strategy for those regions, grounded in a balance between conditioning factors and potentialities alongside flexibility as regards sectoral instruments and policies; calls for a more user-friendly regional policy, but also for stricter rules against ‘fund-shopping’, by means of which some enterprises may misuse the Union's financial instruments;
