I welcome the @EIB targets for increased lending volumes and concentration of resources in less developed EU regions.
These targets are ambitious but achievable, telling an encouraging story about our joint commitment: a cohesive development of the EU.

Foi um gosto encontrar e debater com estes estudantes os grandes desafios que Portugal e a União Europeia enfrentam, sobretudo na perspetiva da Política de #Coesão.
Todos os territórios têm alguma coisa a dar, é preciso puxar por eles e valorizá-los: esse é o papel da Coesão!

Foresight policies for a sustainable future need to:
- address social &amp; economic inequalities
- target regional development &amp; talent traps
- implement a place-based approach
to turn the danger of geography of discontent into opportunities for sustainable territorial growth. https://n.respublicae.eu/eu_commission/status/1676924923321671682

European Commission: The sustainable goals for our planet, societies and economies are clear: we strive for a future that is fair, green, and inclusive.

Productive meeting today with @Igor_Grosu_md Speaker of the @Parliament_RM 🇲🇩
We discussed renewed opportunities for enhanced territorial cooperation and technical support.
🇪🇺 stands by 🇲🇩 in these challenging times. https://t.co/svCdTAk3Ac

Re Europe 🇪🇺 faces the huge challenge of ensuring that its industry remains frontrunner in times of:
➡️fierce global competition over key technologies
➡️spikes in energy costs &amp; input prices
➡️supply chain disruptions

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/ElisaFerreiraEC/status/1676144633720471552

Re To help European industry face these challenges, the Commission adopted in March the Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework for State Aid.
It gives Member States more flexibility to implement support measures for productive investment in net zero sectors anywhere in Europe 🇪🇺

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/ElisaFerreiraEC/status/1676144635486273536

Re However, Member States &amp; regions have different fiscal capacities to use this flexibility and support such projects.
Poorer Member States &amp; regions thus risk:
🔸being outspent
🔸miss the train of future-oriented reindustrialisation
🔸suffer increase in internal disparities.

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/ElisaFerreiraEC/status/1676144637382098944

Re Therefore it is crucial to:
📌preserve level playing field in single market
📌make sure all Member States &amp; regions have chance to support deep, clean &amp; bio tech
The targeted changes to #Cohesion under #STEP aim to ensure balanced territorial investments in these key sectors.

Re This was my concern from the start, as I flagged already in March to the Financial Times.
Without EU support, less wealthy regions will not have the means to attract future-oriented, modern, strategic industries.
That is why this adaptation to #Cohesion rules is necessary. https://t.co/AptRu8OOl6
