Today on Briefed: Europe Talks Back (Extended Format)
Q: Coming back to the broader issue of EU financing mechanisms, do you think that Cohesion Policies are actually fit for the issues we have at hand?
He notes Cohesion Policy has historically targeted less developed regions, but points to the need to address stagnant regions too and to channel funds to places with potential, while ensuring better governance and alignment with territorial needs.
Today on Briefed: Europe Talks Back (Extended Format)
Q: And thinking about this important kind of loophole, do you think that Cohesion funds are actually the most relevant in that discussion? If we are talking about regions or cities that once have been well developed, aren't there other financing mechanisms that are maybe better suited?
The guest emphasizes that Cohesion Funds are uniquely territorially targeted and argue for a broader mix of funds, but stress the need for improved access, governance, and possibly a European-level technical support mechanism to build local capacity.
Today on Briefed: Europe Talks Back (Extended Format)
Q: So, are we witnessing an inevitable concentration around metropolises, or is it still possible to envision a more balanced Europe?
The guest argues that while metropolises attract investment, there remain real assets in small towns and that policy design must better target these areas; also, governance and capacity at the local level are crucial for reversing concentration trends.
