What future for cohesion policy?

Poland should join the discussion about the future of
cohesion policy as soon as possible.

Poland should aim at maintaining the largest possible
budget of this policy, but it should also propose changes
regarding the content and management methods thereof.

Proposals for changes in cohesion policy should take into
consideration the strategic objectives of Polish diplomacy
on European arena. This requires determination of
priorities and negotiation tactics as well as coordination of actions promoting Polish position.

Proposals regarding a reform of cohesion policy should
address the development goals of Polish economy. Top
priority should be assigned to supporting its
innovativeness and competitiveness on external markets.

Moreover a proper coordination is needed between
cohesion policy and other European policies: rural
development policy and innovation policy.
