Cette proposition de règlement établissant le Fonds européen pour la cohésion économique, sociale et territoriale, l’agriculture et les zones rurales, la pêche et les affaires maritimes ainsi que la prospérité et la sécurité pour la période 2028-2034 et modifiant le règlement (UE) 2023/955 ainsi que le règlement (UE, Euratom) 2024/2509 est rejetée puisqu’elle contient des dispositions qui remettent en cause l’autonomie et l’intégrité de politiques historiques de l’Union, au détriment des agriculteurs, des pêcheurs et des territoires, ainsi que de nouvelles conditionnalités politiques introduites par la Commission lui conférant un pouvoir discrétionnaire sur l’attribution des fonds qui disposeraient, en outre, de moyens financiers insuffisants à leur pérennité. La politique agricole commune, dont le programme POSEI, la politique commune de la pêche et la politique de cohésion doivent conserver leurs objectifs propres, leurs moyens dédiés et suffisants, ainsi qu’une gouvernance spécifique. Ces politiques constituent des instruments essentiels à notre souveraineté alimentaire, à la cohésion territoriale et au développement économique de nos territoires. Dans sa rédaction actuelle, cette proposition ne garantit pas la protection de ces intérêts et conduit à une centralisation accrue des décisions budgétaires au niveau de l’Union européenne en violation du principe de subsidiarité.

| (1) Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) provides that, in order to promote its overall harmonious development, the Union is to develop and pursue actions that lead to the strengthening of its economic, social and territorial cohesion. It further lays down that the Union shall, in particular, aim at reducing disparities between the levels of development of the various regions and the backwardness of the least favoured regions. | (1) Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) provides that, in order to promote its overall harmonious development, the Union is to develop and pursue actions that lead to the strengthening of its economic, social and territorial cohesion. It further lays down that the Union shall, in particular, aim at reducing disparities between the levels of development of the various regions and the backwardness of the least favoured regions. Cohesion policy should therefore remain a policy for all regions, while maintaining a particular focus on less developed regions and territories facing structural challenges. Particular attention should be paid to rural areas, border regions, islands, outermost regions, regions affected by demographic decline and regions undergoing industrial restructuring or economic transition. The implementation of this Regulation should contribute to balanced territorial development, strengthen territorial cohesion and prevent the widening of regional disparities both between and within Member States. |

In that regard, an efficient, accessible and affordable transport system is vital for European integration and territorial cohesion and has always been an essential part of cohesion funding. The different starting positions and specificities of regions should be taken into consideration in the implementation of Union policies. |

| (1a) It is therefore necessary to call on the Commission to submit a new legislative proposal that preserves the existing fund-specific structures, ensures a clear separation between different policy instruments, and eliminates the use of any conditionalities. Such a framework should be based on objective, transparent and non-discriminatory criteria. |

| (2) Article 175 TFEU requires that Member States coordinate their economic policies in such a way as to attain the objectives set out in Article 174 TFEU. The Union also supports the achievement of those objectives by the action it takes through the Structural Funds, including the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guidance Section; the European Social Fund and the European Regional Development Fund. The Commission’s Communication on the road to the next multiannual financial framework1 emphasises that the effectiveness of Union funding is hampered by fragmentation of the financial architecture coupled with complexity and rigidities that increases risk of overlaps. Financing of the Union’s policy objectives is scattered across overlapping programmes, each with its own set of rules. These elements generate administrative burden for recipients and Member States and limit the flexibility of the Union budget. | (2) Article 175 TFEU requires that Member States coordinate their economic policies in such a way as to attain the objectives set out in Article 174 TFEU.

These elements generate administrative burden for recipients and Member States and limit the flexibility of the Union budget. Simplification, flexibility and improved coordination of Union funding should not lead to the weakening of economic, social and territorial cohesion, nor to the excessive centralisation of decision-making and resource allocation. Any reform of the Union financial architecture should preserve the territorial dimension of Union policies, respect the principles of partnership and multi-level governance, and ensure that regional and local authorities continue to play a meaningful role in the design and implementation of investments. The simplification of funding instruments should contribute to better delivery of Union objectives while maintaining adequate support for all categories of regions, with particular attention to less developed regions, rural areas, border regions, islands, outermost regions and regions undergoing industrial transition. Competitiveness-related investments and Union-level instruments should complement, and not replace, cohesion policy investments aimed at reducing regional disparities and promoting balanced territorial development throughout the Union. |

| (2a) Article 177 TFEU provides that the Cohesion Fund aims at reducing regional disparities and supports those Member States whose gross national income (GNI) per capita is less than 90 % of the EU average GNI per capita. It encourages sustainable growth and focusses on investment in environment and transport. Resources from the Cohesion Fund should be allocated to Member States in accordance with TFEU provisions and following the traditional methodology. |

| (5a) Article 191 TFEU pursues Union’s objectives on environment, including preserving, protecting and improving the quality of environment and protecting human health. The Union has set the objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest, and has established climate targets for 2030 and 2040. In line with these objectives and targets, the NRPP should contribute to a high level of protection and improvement of the quality of the environment and the protection of health and should be implemented within planetary boundaries and in accordance with the ‘do no significant harm’ principle. It should be guided by a prevention-first principle; in applying the One-Health approach, as defined in Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 of the European Parliament and of the Council, the Fund should recognise the interdependence between human, animal and environmental health. |

| (7) The Union needs to achieve its objectives within a challenging economic, social and demographic context including persisting regional and territorial disparities, the impacts of climate change and challenges related to food security and nature protection, insufficient and uneven progress on the Union’s digital transformation, undermining efforts to strengthen the Union’s digital sovereignty as well as significant economic and social consequences. That is coupled with a challenging geopolitical and geoeconomic context that has an impact on the Union’s defence, security (including economic security) and migration policies. Effectively addressing these challenges requires a more focused, simple and impactful Union budget, to ensure the Union added value and clear alignment between Union financial support and Union policy priorities across all policy areas and management modes and to [continue efforts to] simplify rules on Union financial support. | (7) The Union faces significant demographic, economic, social and demographic, geopolitical and territorial challenges. Persistent regional, demographic decline in many territories, labour shortages, housing affordability challenges, industrial restructuring, energy security concerns and growing global competition continue to affect the Union´s long-term competitiveness and resilience. At the same time, the Union must address enviromental challenges, improve resource efficiency, strenghten food security and support technological and digital development while respecting the diversity of regional circumstances and development paths across the Union. The changing geopolitical and economic environment, including growing security and defence challenges, economic dependencies, migration pressures and disruptions of global supply chains, requires a more effective, flexible and strategically focused Union budget. In responding to these challenges, simplification and greater flexibility of Union funding should contribute to imrpoving delivery and reducing administrative burdens for beneficiaries and public authorities. However such simplification should not weaken economic, social and territorial, which remains a fundamental objective of the Union under Articles 174 and 175 TFEU. Nor should it lead to excessive centralisation of decision-making or resource allocation. The implementation of this Regulation should therefore ensure that support for new Union priorities remains complementary to, and does not come at the expense of, efforts to reduce regional disparities, strenghten territorial cohesion and promote balanced development across all categories of regions. Particular attention should be paid to less developed regions, rural areas, border regions, islands, outermost regions, regions facing demographic decline and regions undergoing industrial transition. The Union budget should support competitiveness, innovation, energy security, food security, resilience and territorial cohesion in a balanced manner, while preserving the principles of partnership, multi-level governance and shared management. |

|---|---|
| (7a) The achievement of the Union’s environmental and climate objectives should be accompanied by measures safeguarding the competitiveness of the European economy, the affordability of energy and housing, and the purchasing power of citizens. The implementation of climate and environmental policies has generated significant adjustment costs for households, businesses, farmers and public authorities, particularly in regions facing structural economic challenges, energy dependency or lower income levels. Union support should therefore contribute to mitigating disproportionate socio-economic impacts, strengthening energy security and ensuring that the transition does not exacerbate regional disparities or increase the risk of energy and transport poverty. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (7a) The outermost regions make up the EU’s outlying frontiers in the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean and South America; they contribute to the Union’s food, energy, maritime, climate and geopolitical sovereignty; the full and effective implementation of Article 349 TFEU requires the adoption of appropriate measures to compensate for the permanent structural constraints to which they are subject, in order to ensure genuine equality between European citizens regardless of their place of residence; |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (7b) In order to preserve competitiveness, innovation and affordability, investments supported under this Regulation should respect the principle of technological neutrality. Union support should enable Member States and regions to choose the most appropriate and cost-effective solutions in light of their specific circumstances, while contributing to resilience, sustainability and security of supply. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (7c) The establishment of the European Competitiveness Fund provides the Union with a dedicated instrument to support strategic investments, innovation, industrial competitiveness and technological leadership at Union level. The existence of such an instrument should not diminish the role of cohesion policy in reducing regional disparities and promoting balanced territorial development. The objectives of competitiveness and cohesion are complementary but distinct and should be pursued through instruments designed for their respective purposes. Economic, social and territorial cohesion remains one of the fundamental objectives of the Union as laid down in Article 174 TFEU. While strengthening competitiveness is essential for the long-term prosperity of the Union, competitiveness-driven investments alone cannot address structural territorial disparities, demographic challenges or unequal access to opportunities and public services. Cohesion policy therefore continues to play an essential role in ensuring that all regions can contribute to and benefit from economic growth. |

This amendment underscores the fact that the CAP must not be watered down, renationalised or forgo its genuinely pan-EU nature as a result of being incorporated within the new budget framework. The CAP must continue to be underpinned by a dedicated, protected and predictable budget, a two-pillar structure, common European objectives and a level playing field for farmers. This amendment also introduces the principle of maintaining CAP funding at least in real terms, taking into account inflation, rising production costs and the need to provide predictability for farmers and rural areas.

| (9a) Certain regions across the Union are facing significant economic and social challenges linked to industrial restructuring, decarbonisation processes, changing energy systems and the phase-out of carbon-intensive industries.

| (9b) Rising costs of energy, housing, transport and essential goods have increased pressure on households and businesses across the Union.

| (9c) The concentration of resources on Union-level strategic priorities should not weaken the place-based approach that remains a cornerstone of cohesion policy. The design and implementation of the National and Regional Partnership Plans should preserve the territorial dimension of Union spending and ensure the meaningful involvement of regional and local authorities. The Union’s competitiveness depends not only on centres of excellence and innovation, but also on the economic strength, resilience and development potential of all regions. Reducing regional disparities, improving connectivity and supporting local economies contribute directly to the competitiveness and resilience of the Union as a whole. Support for competitiveness should therefore be implemented in a manner that avoids creating new territorial imbalances or disproportionately concentrating benefits in already more developed regions. Synergies between the European Competitiveness Fund and the National and Regional Partnership Plans should reinforce economic, social and territorial cohesion and contribute to balanced development across the Union. |

Accordingly, the Union should set the objectives and types of interventions while greater responsibility and accountability for meeting those objectives should be borne by the Member States. As a consequence, there is a need to ensure greater subsidiarity and flexibility in order to take better account of the local and regional conditions and needs. However, that increased flexibility and simplification should not lead to European policies being nationalised nor their management centralised by giving national authorities discretion that prevails over regional allocations and thematic distribution, which runs counter to the principle of subsidiarity. Multilevel governance and genuine partnership with regional and local authorities should be fully respected, in accordance with the internal constitutional structures of the Member States. The Plans should back improved budgetary efficiency, in line with the simplification objective supported by the Commission, as well as impact assessments for each of the European programmes and their corresponding budget lines, with the aim of achieving true budgetary simplification and efficiency, enabling us to respond to the real priorities of the Union. What is more, the Plans should emphasise considerably simplified rules for final beneficiaries, especially SMEs, in order to reduce disproportionate administrative burdens, risks of double funding and fraud, while ensuring the ex-ante and ex-post evaluation of modifications, in line with the recommendations of the European Court of Auditors, in particular with regard to reforms and investments included in the National and Regional Partnership Plans. Regions should be empowered to lead the design and implementation of the mandatory regional chapters within National and Regional Partnership Plans, including the right to interact directly with the Commission and to act as managing authorities. Reform and investment programmes should be agreed at the appropriate level of competence and should include ex-ante and ex-post evaluations. The European Parliament should also be appropriately involved in the evaluation and approval of National and Regional Partnership Plans. Furthermore, Member States should consult their national parliaments on the Plans. In order to ensure the Fund is geared towards real results, the milestones and targets for each measure should be verifiable. Those milestones and targets will be drawn up in accordance with a methodology adopted by the Commission in a delegated act, which will include clear definitions, transparent evaluation criteria and an independent assessment carried out by evaluators free from conflicts of interest. Indicators should focus on tangible results and avoid purely procedural indicators. Ex-ante and ex-post evaluations shall be mandatory. The list of standardised indicators in the [Performance Regulation] should be precise and comprehensive enough to adequately cover the diverse range of national and regional measures, in line with the recommendations of the European Court of Auditors. To enhance the contribution by the National and Regional Partnership Plans to pursuing the Union’s structural priorities and to improve coordination between the Union budget and the European Semester, the measures included in each Plan should address the European Semester country-specific recommendations to the Member State concerned. This minimum requirement will help ensure greater ambition in and real impact by the reforms and investments financed under the National Plans, without prejudice to Member States being able to go beyond that threshold in accordance with their specific needs. |

The Union should establish common objectives and intervention frameworks, while Member States should retain sufficient flexibility to determine the most appropriate measures to achieve those objectives in accordance with national, regional and local circumstances. Greater responsibility and accountability for implementation should therefore be accompanied by respect for the principles of subsidiarity, proportionality, partnership and multi-level governance. Increased flexibility should support the ability of Member States and regions to respond to evolving challenges and opportunities without undermining the primary objective of reducing regional disparities and promoting balanced territorial development across the Union. |

| (10a) While Regulation (EU) [NRP Plan Regulation] establishes a common framework, the European Social Fund (ESF), which is based on Articles 162 and 164 TFEU and is the EU's main financial instrument for implementing the European Pillar of Social Rights, promoting social inclusion and contributing to economic, social and territorial cohesion in accordance with Article 174 TFEU, should remain a separate and stand-alone programme as has been the case so far. Maintaining its own legal framework is important to ensure accountability and transparency and enable Parliament to fully exercise its scrutiny and budgetary control powers. The ESF also contributes to simplification and more straightforward access for final beneficiaries while fostering effective implementation and limiting resource reallocations that could undermine the attainment of its specific objectives. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (10a) Public expenditure under the Union budget should meet the highest standards of environmental integrity and policy coherence and should not finance measures that undermine the Union’s environmental and climate objectives. In this context, compliance with the principle of “do no significant harm” (DNSH) as set out in Article 33(2), point (d), of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 and in accordance with Regulation (EU, Euratom) 202X/XXXX [Performance regulation] is primordial. DNSH should be a prerequisite for Union support and be assessed and ensured throughout the programming, implementation and monitoring phases. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (10a) Demographic change represents a growing challenge for many regions of the Union. Population decline, ageing societies, labour shortages, youth outmigration and brain drain risk undermining economic development, social cohesion and the long-term attractiveness of territories. The Fund should therefore support measures aimed at strengthening demographic resilience, promoting generational renewal, retaining population, improving access to services and housing, supporting family-friendly policies and enhancing the quality of life in regions facing demographic decline. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (10a) In order to ensure the protection of the financial interests of the Union, clear control, audit and accountability requirements should be laid down. In view of the risks identified with regard to the traceability of expenditure, the reliability of information declared and the inadequacy of prior checks, it is necessary to ensure adequate verification of payments, on the basis of documentary evidence, and to define the financial consequences in the event of non-compliance. |

| (10a) The funding model initially proposed as part of these new national and regional partnership plans, under the guise of simplification and flexibility, poses extremely serious risks to the Common Agricultural Policy by undermining its fundamentally common nature. |

To develop a more coordinated, harmonised and effective implementation of Union Funds, this Regulation should provide for the grouping of nationally pre-allocated funds under the European Fund for Economic, Territorial, Social, Rural and Maritime Sustainable Prosperity and Security (‘the Fund’).

| (11a) Calls for cohesion policy to remain a distinct policy with a dedicated and robust budget ring-fenced in the next MFF with a total amount of EUR 248.37 billion in current prices (equivalent to EUR 222.00 billion in 2025 constant prices) for the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), EUR 46.99 billion in current prices (equivalent to EUR 42.00 billion in 2025 constant prices) for the Cohesion Fund and EUR 11.57 billion in current prices (equivalent to EUR 10.34 billion in 2025 constant prices) for Interreg; underlines that allocating this amount to cohesion policy is a necessary condition not only for ensuring the financing of long-term cohesion objectives and fostering convergence, but also for funding the new objectives and priorities within this policy. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (11a) While sufficient flexibility is needed to address unforeseen crises, the NRP plans should maintain their primary role as a tool for long-term growth, investment and convergence. Therefore, the resources of the NRP plans should be mobilised for crisis management purposes only after the relevant Union crisis response instruments and the available Union budgetary reserves have been exhausted. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (11a) In a performance-based delivery system, where payments are linked to the fulfilment of milestones and targets, transparency and accountability are essential for the protection of the Union budget. The European Parliament, as one arm of the budgetary authority, should receive timely information on interruptions, suspensions and financial corrections in order to exercise effective budgetary scrutiny. |

The National and Regional Partnership Plans will provide comprehensive and coherent support to the Member States and regions facing those challenges, in particular highlighted in European Commission’s Communication on the EU’s eastern regions bordering Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Those challenges include security and hybrid threats, violation of airspace, radio frequency interference, cyber-attacks, sabotage of air traffic and land and subsea infrastructure, foreign information manipulation and interference, and hostile rhetoric. Regions along the EU’s eastern borders also face mounting economic pressures. They need to cope with significantly reduced cross-border trade and tourism flows, disrupted supply chains and declining investment confidence. Moreover, those regions face some of the EU’s most acute demographic pressures, including low fertility, population ageing and emigration resulting in the population decline. |

The National and Regional Partnership Plans will provide comprehensive and coherent support to the Member States and regions facing those challenges, in particular highlighted in European Commission’s Communication on the EU’s eastern regions bordering Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Those challenges include security and hybrid threats, violation of airspace, radio frequency interference, cyber-attacks, sabotage of air traffic and land and subsea infrastructure, foreign information manipulation and interference, and hostile rhetoric. Regions along the EU’s eastern borders also face mounting economic pressures. They need to cope with significantly reduced cross-border trade and tourism flows, disrupted supply chains and declining investment confidence. Moreover, those regions face some of the EU’s most acute demographic pressures, including low fertility, population ageing and emigration resulting in the population decline. |

| (12a) Regions located at the external borders of the Union play a particularly important role in safeguarding the security, stability and resilience of the Union as a whole. In addition to their contribution to territorial cohesion and economic development, such regions often face specific challenges arising from their geographical position, including security risks, migratory pressures, hybrid threats, demographic challenges, connectivity constraints and the need to maintain adequate public services and infrastructure. The Fund should therefore support measures that strengthen the resilience, preparedness, connectivity, competitiveness and long-term development of these regions, recognising their contribution to the protection of the Union's security and stability. |

| (12a) Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has generated significant and long-lasting economic, social, demographic and security impacts in several regions of the Union, particularly in Eastern border regions and regions hosting large numbers of displaced persons from Ukraine. Those regions have assumed substantial responsibilities in providing reception, accommodation, healthcare, education, social services and labour market integration. The Fund should therefore provide additional and targeted support to strengthen their resilience, competitiveness, public services and territorial cohesion. |
