The European Commission (EC) is the political expression of the member states of the Union and is responsible for formulating Strategies and Policies with the main aim of improving the living conditions of Europe's citizens.
One of the Strategies developed by the EU to contribute to strengthening economic, social and territorial cohesion in the European Union is the Common Cohesion Policy. It aims to correct imbalances between countries and regions and addresses the Union's political priorities, in particular, green and digital transition.
The Common Cohesion Policy applies to Program Periods. From 2000 their duration lasts 7 years and so they started with the Programming Period 2000-2006, followed by 2007-2013 and a few months ago 2014-2020 was completed.
We are now going through the period 2021 - 2027 and the European Commission has modified several of its priorities compared to previous periods, to be able to meet the old and new challenges. Economic Crisis, Combating Poverty and Unemployment, Migration, Climate Change and Environmental Protection, Improving Citizens' Health, Education and Equality and many more issues that need to be confronted effectively.
To achieve the goal of a better quality of life for European citizens, the European Commission has produced the NextGenerationEu (NGEU) strategy - a recovery plan that sets out targets for the period 2019-2024. The recovery plan includes a budget of 750 billion € as part of the total European Budget of 1,824.30 billion € of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the Programming Period 2021-2027.
