Or. pl
Justification
The flexibility mechanism should be limited to 15 % of the Union contribution. The proposed flexibility amount (25 % of the Union contribution) would mean that a considerable proportion of funding could no longer be used for the ongoing implementation of programmes from the outset of the programming period. Such a large reserve may limit the capacity of the regions to plan and carry out development activities and make the financing of interventions less predictable.

| Interventions concerning essential infrastructure in less developed, island, mountain, rural and coastal areas shall not count towards the flexibility amount where such interventions are necessary to achieve the objectives of economic, social and territorial cohesion |
Or. en
Justification
Essential infrastructure in less developed, island, mountain, rural and coastal areas is indispensable for achieving cohesion under Article 174 TFEU. Such investments should not be eroded by being counted towards the flexibility amount, which could otherwise allow them to be diverted to other purposes, to the detriment of the territories that most need them.

| 2a. At least JO% of the total amount allocated to Member States in their national plans for agriculture and cohesion shall be earmarked for "rural objectives". |
Or. en
Justification
Rural areas play a key role in territorial cohesion, food production and economic resilience, but often face demographic decline, ageing populations, limited access to services and lower investment attractiveness. The amendment ensures that rural development remains a visible priority within the Plans. A minimum allocation of10% provides a balanced safeguard while preserving flexibility for Member States and contributes to reducing disparities between urban and rural areas.

Or. en
Justification
The rules governing the use of funds must be accompanied by flexible and pragmatic arrangements in order to ensure the full uptake and effective use of the allocated resources. A shortening of the spending deadline would pose a real risk to the successful implementation of funded actions, particularly in already complex contexts such as those of the outermost regions, which face structural and logistical constraints, the technical complexity of certain projects, administrative delays, and limited local engineering capacity. Such a reduction would also effectively preclude the financing of large-scale projects, which often require preliminary studies and are implemented over several years. An overly rigid timetable would therefore undermine cohesion policy in the very areas where its impact is most needed.

Or. en
Justification
Where the Council's implementing decision is adopted after 31 July 2028, simply cancelling the 2028 pre-financing tranche would penalise Member States and their regions for delays beyond their control and create liquidity gaps at the start of the programming period. Paying the 2028 instalment retroactively preserves the agreed level of pre-financing and protects the timely launch of investments on the ground.

Justification
In accordance with Article 112(3) of the Common Provisions Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2021/1060), ‘the co-financing rates set out in point (a) of the first subparagraph (i.e. 85% for less developed regions) shall also apply to the outermost regions, including the additional allocation for those regions’. This specific provision on co-financing for the outermost regions, applicable to the ERDF and the ESF+ for the 2021–2027 period, should be maintained in the next MFF, in view of the specific constraints of these regions referred to in Article 349 TFEU. In this regard, it is proposed to include in this article a similar provision applying to the outermost regions the same minimum national contribution rate as that applicable to less developed regions (15%).

A sharp increase in the national co-financing rate from 15% to 40% for regions newly classified as transition regions would place a significant burden on national and regional budgets and risk reducing investment capacity.

Justification
Given the difficult socio-economic conditions in these regions, Interreg programmes at the EU’s external borders need a minimum 90% EU co-financing level. Reducing the EU co-financing rate would limit participation and restrict access to development for local partners.‘Cross-border’ needs to be erased because transnational cooperation on external borders should also be covered (the current transnational NEXT (external) programmes).
