📍Cohesion can’t be an objective for #CohesionPolicy policy alone, all 🇪🇺 & national policies must contribute to it
GAC conclusions 👉 https://europa.eu/!HfhQrn
Work will continue in the context of the High Level Group on future of Cohesion that I’ll announce soon. Stay tuned 📻

My 4 key take aways of #GAC discussion:
📍Policy needs to remain agile but keep focus on long-term transformation
📍Reconcile common 🇪🇺 goals with needs of each territory
📍Funds are necessary
but not sufficient condition. Reforms, institutions & rule of law are crucial
