Amendment 4 #

Amendment 40 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Recalls that culture and cultural heritage are key elements for the attractiveness of cities and regions and for economic development through cultural tourism; calls on the EU’s cities and regions to use the cohesion policy instruments efficiently in order to boost cultural and socioeconomic development that draws on the cultural distinctiveness of European countries, regions and cities; calls on the Commission, in this connection, to review the decision to place a ceiling of EUR 5 million (or EUR 10 million of the total cost where sites on the UNESCO list are involved) on ERDF funding for cultural heritage projects; stresses that there is no legal basis for this approach in EU law; emphasises that setting such a low ceiling for support reduces the scope for many types of investment that are of vital importance to social and economic development in the EU.
Amendment 41 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5а. Calls on the Member States to allocate a larger share of their budgets and of regional development funding to culture and the cultural heritage with a view to making regions attractive, promoting their effective and comprehensive development and tapping their potential.
Amendment 42 #

Highlights the importance of simplification, and recommends that the Commission and the Member States should continue their efforts to simplify implementation of the cohesion policy, in order to improve targeting of policy outcomes and cut red tape at all levels; stresses the importance of platforms for sharing best practice in the various areas of implementation.
Amendment 43 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. To this end, calls for the establishment of regional cultural hubs in which towns, cities and regions can work together to promote and preserve their cultural heritage and turn it into an economic asset.
Amendment 44 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 b (new) 5b. Calls on the Commission to clarify, in the thematic guides, the interpretation of Article 3(e) of Regulation (EU) No 1301/2013 (ERDF) with regard to investment in the development of endogenous potential through fixed investment in equipment and small-scale infrastructure for culture and sustainable tourism. Takes the view, in this connection, that the EUR 5 million ceiling adopted by the Commission on the basis of total project costs is overly rigid and will result in less support for the cultural heritage, not least because it makes no provision for the deduction of documentation and management costs and of non-reducible expenditure (e.g. VAT). Believes, furthermore, that it reduces the scope for public and private partnerships and for investment in culture.
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Recalls that in order to contribute efficiently to combating the high levels of youth unemployment, EU cohesion policy needs to be fully in line with the Europe 2020 strategy, and in particular the headline targets for education of reducing school drop-out rates to below 10 % and increasing the share of young people with a third-level degree or diploma to at least 40 %, and with the benchmark for an average of at least 15 % of adults to participate in lifelong learning, thereby recognising the validation of skills and acquired experience;
Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1а. Points out that, in order to achieve the Europe 2020 strategy targets and particularly those for education and the reduction of school drop-out rates, there is a need to improve access to education infrastructure and the quality of socio- cultural services in the EU’s regions, especially those affected by economic stagnation;
Amendment 7 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Points to the importance of education in bringing about greater social and regional cohesion and enhancing democratic consciousness and participation among young people;
Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Highlights the fact that 12% of the 18- 24 year old population are early school leavers and calls on the EU to identify the main factors leading to early school leaving and monitor the characteristics of the phenomenon at national, regional and local level as the foundation for targeted and effective evidence-based policies. Policies to reduce early school leaving must address a range of factors including educational and social challenges that might be possibly leading to such a phenomenon;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 b (new) 1b. Points out that without good cooperation between educational institutions and labour market players it will be impossible to remedy the high unemployment among young graduates in the EU; stresses in particular that through teaching of the knowledge and skills needed on the labour market the youth employment rate has been raised and social differences have narrowed;
