TThehe EuropeanEuropean CohesionCohesion PolicyPolicy –– ObjectivesObjectives 20072007 -- 20132013
The Structural Funds are the financial instruments of European
Union (EU) regional policy, which is intended to narrow the
development disparities among regions and Member States. The
Funds participate fully, therefore, in pursuing the goal of
economic, social and territorial cohesion.
There are two Structural Funds:
•the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is currently
the largest. It has provided support for the creation of
infrastructure and productive job-creating investment, mainly for
businesses;
•the European Social Fund (ESF), contributes to the integration
into working life of the unemployed and disadvantaged sections of
the population, mainly by funding training measures.
These Funds will be used to finance regional policy between 2007
and 2013 in the framework of the three new objectives, namely:
•the "convergence" objective to accelerate the convergence of
the least developed EU Member States and regions by improving
growth and employment conditions.
•the "regional competitiveness and employment" objective to
anticipate economic and social change, promote innovation,
entrepreneurship, environmental protection and the development
of labour markets which include regions not covered by the
Convergence objective.
•the "European territorial cooperation" objective to strengthen
cooperation at cross-border, transnational and interregional levels
in the fields of urban, rural and coastal development, and foster
the development of economic relations and networking between
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
