Amendment 287 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 54 (54) In order to promote the Treaty objectives of economic, social and territorial cohesion, the ‘Investment for growth and jobs’ goal should support all regions. To provide balanced and gradual support and reflect the level of economic and social development, resources under that goal should be allocated from the ERDF and the ESF among the less developed regions, the transition regions and the more developed regions according to their gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in relation to the EU average. In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of investment from the Structural Funds, regions whose GDP per capita for the 2007-2013 period was less than 75% of the average of the EU-25 for the reference period but whose GDP per capita has grown to more than 75% of the EU-27 average and the regions currently under the phasing-out status should receive at least two thirds of their 2007-2013 allocation. Member States whose per capita gross national income (GNI) is less than 90 % of that of the Union average should benefit under the ‘Investment for growth and jobs’ goal from the CF.
