Amendment 74Bronis RopėProposal for a regulationRecital 1

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

(1) Article 176 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ('TFEU') provides that the European Regional Development Fund ('ERDF') is intended to help to redress the main regional imbalances in the Union. Under that Article and the second and third paragraphs of Article 174 of the TFEU, the ERDF is to contribute to reducing disparities between the levels of development of the various regions and to reducing the backwardness of the least favoured regions, among which particular attention is to be paid to regions which suffer from severe and permanent natural or demographic handicaps such as the northernmost regions with very low population density and island, cross-border and mountain regions.

(26a) For the purpose of strengthening economic, social and territorial cohesion, as envisaged in Article 174 TFEU, the European Urban Initiative and support for rural, mountainous and isolated areas, particularly those most affected by demographic decline, should be the two sides of the same coin, that is to say, they should focus not only on the more central urban hubs and their surrounding fabric, but also on the more remote rural areas located further away from them. Indeed, priority could even be given to more remote, rural or mountainous areas with low urban or demographic density, through the formulation and development of specific measures encompassing outlying urban centres, accompanied by services or infrastructures that will inevitably be necessary to ensure a functional and successful outcome.

The specific objective „(iv) promoting sustainable multimodal urban mobility” should be transferred to PO2 in accordance with the 2014-2020 programming period. Urban mobility is primarily local and its planning and implementation is the competence of local authorities, in contrast to linear projects of a regional, supraregional, national or international nature

(railways, national roads, expressways, motorways, TEN-T network) - by which it is easier to achieve a synergy effect in PO2 (renovation of buildings, use of renewable energy and urban mobility) than in PO3. It is also worth to notice that PO2 is covered by thematic concentration.

Justification

Sport “offers a further excellent training and non-formal education opportunity for young people” (EP Report on an integrated approach to Sport Policy: good governance, accessibility and integrity). Sport can furthermore be harnessed as a tool “to strengthen the skills and employability of workers” and for regional employment as “sport activity requires human input and therefore is relatively good at generating employment locally, not only in the

activity itself, but also in the construction and maintenance of facilities” as underlined by the Study on the Contribution of Sport to Regional Development through the Structural Funds (2016). The future European Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund needs to foster this kind of cooperation at national, regional and local level to achieve its objectives.

Consistency with the UNCRPD Committee’s recommendations that the EU takes measures, including through the use of funds, to foster deinstitutionalization and develop support services for persons with disabilities. Including the transition from institutional to community-based care as an investment measure provides a positive incentive for Member States to advance deinstitutionalization reforms for all groups in vulnerable situations (children, homeless people, people experiencing mental health problems, people with disabilities)

that “sport is […] a social phenomenon which makes an important contribution to the European Union’s strategic objectives, and to social values such as tolerance, solidarity, prosperity, peace, respect for human rights and understanding among nations and cultures”. Current challenges such as the inclusion of migrants, can be tackled more successfully if the new generation of the European Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund taps the full potential of sport in this regard. Sport projects do rely on access to appropriate infrastructures in the EU’s regions: The ERDF and Cohesion funds should therefore explicitly mention the possibility to finance small-scale local sport infrastructures.

Justification

Evidence of the potential contribution of sport-related initiatives to the EU cohesion policy objectives has been clearly demonstrated in the Study on the Contribution of Sport to Regional Development through the Structural Funds (2016). This study revealed that “characteristics of such projects (sport related projects) that can make them particularly effective in achieving certain objectives of regional and social development” as sport has the “ability to engage with a wide range of social groups and its role within the developing Experience Economy”. In addition, the study concluded that sport projects can contribute “to a series of policy objectives, including creating employment, promoting innovation, generating urban revitalisation or engaging with excluded social groups and creating transferable employment skills” before adding that “sport has a critical role in making Europe and its regions more attractive places in which to invest and work”. Sport projects do rely on access to appropriate infrastructures in the EU’s regions: The ERDF and Cohesion funds should therefore explicitly mention the possibility to finance small-scale local sport infrastructures.
