| (iiia) enhancing connectivity. It is essential to ensure that all regions, regardless of their geographical location, have equitable access to the Single Market. The Outermost Regions, in particular, are heavily dependent on air and maritime transport to guarantee the mobility of their populations, the importation of raw materials, and the export of processed goods. Compared to other European regions, they face clear structural disadvantages stemming from their insularity and the logistical constraints inherent to transportation. In light of the EU’s Competitiveness Compass and the objectives of the Single Market, national authorities, in close coordination with regional authorities, should activate a new strategic priority aimed at ensuring effective connectivity and access to the Single Market to and from these regions. This can be framed within the scope of Article 349 TFEU, which provides for the adoption of specific measures to support the structural integration of the outermost regions and offset the constraints resulting from their permanent handicaps. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (iiib) fortifying critical infrastructure by directing investments into Cybersecurity with secure communication systems, surveillance technologies, and threat detection systems; Transportation hubs for quick movement of people and goods while insuring rapid deployment of emergency services, medical evacuations and distribution of essential supplies; Resilient Public Buildings and Shelters that in peace time can serve cultural, educational and sports facilities as stadiums while protecting people and serving as command centres in wartimes; as well as other related sectors would contribute to European preparedness for wartime scenarios. These measures help increase resilience, maintain continuity of essential services, and improve national security. |

It shall be paid within 60 days of the adoption of the Commission decision approving the programme amendment. |
This clause is intended to ensure equal treatment of funding allocations by clarifying that pre-financing benefits are not limited to newly programmed projects within the relevant time frame but also extend to supplementary funds subsequently allocated to existing priorities. Without this clarification, early actors ("first movers") who already committed resources could be penalized compared to those programming funds later, thus undermining fairness in the funding mechanism.

| With regard to the objectives laid down in Article 3(1), points (a)(vii) and (c)(iii), Member States comprising regions which, for at least three consecutive years, have failed to register an increase in GDP per capita that is equal to or greater than the national average, shall be excluded from the reallocation of Cohesion Fund resources. |
This amendment seeks to ensure that Cohesion Fund resources are allocated in a strategic fashion by supporting less-developed regions to prioritise their economic development, including basic infrastructure and productivity growth. Regions where GDP is lower than the national average shall continue to receive funding for other priorities, which will help to improve the economic situation of those areas accordingly. This approach will ensure that funding is disbursed in a targeted fashion to meet the specific needs of each region.

| (c) 65 % for the transition regions; | |

| (This amendment applies throughout the text. Adopting it will necessitate corresponding changes throughout.) |
A higher EU financing rate reduces pressure on national budgets, yet lowers the overall volume of investment by removing the leverage effect of cohesion funding and disproportionately supports more developed regions. Co-financing through public and private actors is an important principle, supporting ownership and efficient and effective spending. This proposal instead increases the existing co-financing rate in accordance with Article 112(3) of Regulation 2021/1060 by 5 percentage points.

Amounts that are suspended under Regulation (EU) 2020/2092 or withheld on the basis of horizontal enabling conditions under article 15 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 should not be subject to amended programmes or transfers. |
There are already today possibilities for Member States to amend programmes or transfer amounts according to article 24 and 26 Regulation (EU) 2021/1060.

| (This amendment applies throughout the text) |
While a need for flexibility is recognized, it should be ensured that thematic concentration is maintained to a substantial degree as the priorities underlying thematic concentration – strengthening of SME, competitiveness, innovation, climate, environment and preservation of natural resources -requirements remain highly relevant. Therefore the option to reallocate funds should be limited so that reallocations do not lead to a de facto repeal of thematic concentration. A bottom limit of 75% minimum of „true PO1 and PO 2“ investments seems adequate.

A higher EU financing rate reduces pressure on national budgets, yet lowers the overall volume of investment by removing the leverage effect of cohesion funding and disproportionately supports more developed regions. Co-financing through public and private actors is an important principle, supporting ownership and efficient and effective spending. This proposal instead increases the existing co-financing rate in accordance with Article 112(3) of Regulation 2021/1060 by 10 percentage points due to the exceptional situation of these regions.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 6b. allocations of financial resources to priorities established for the specific objective referred to in Regulation (EU) 2021/1058, article 3(1) point (b) (x) (RESTORE) approved in the programme shall count towards the 15% threshold. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply for the purposes of this Article as a whole. |
Some regions affected by natural disasters have already mobilised very substantial resources for RESTORE, which in turn limits their capacity to allocate additional funding to new priorities.
To ensure that regions already impacted by natural disasters are not penalised in relation to the 15% target, it is requested that amounts already allocated under “RESTORE” by the programmes concerned be counted towards this threshold.
