How do the EU member states use the EU cohesion policy for regional development? Monitoring of the EU via cohesion monitor

Original language description

On 1 May 2004, ten countries acceded to the European Union (EU). For these Member States to catch up with the EU average in terms of growth and income, the EU invested massively via its Cohesion Policy and, since 2014, via the Investment Plan for Europe, the Juncker Plan. These investments have had very positive results on the ground, not only thanks to EU funding but also to the efforts of these Member States to reform and become attractive places for investors and for businesses to settle and thrive. The accession of these Member States to the EU has led to a sizeable increase in its GDP and population. The 10 Member States that have joined the Union accounted in 2018 for close to 7% of the EU&apos;s total GDP and above 14% of its population. Over the past 15 years, the economies of these Member States have grown at an above-average annual rate of 3.3%. EUR365.2 billion invested in the 10 Member States over 2004-2020 under the European Structural and Investment Funds, or 2.6% of their GDP every year. EUR31.4 billion of additional investments mobilised in the 10 Member States under the Juncker Plan since 2014. Since the beginning of the Juncker Commission in 2014, the European Structural and Investment Funds and the Juncker Plan have supported 222,729 small and medium businesses in the 10 Member States. Since 2014, Cohesion Policy investments in the 10 Member States have led to 25 million people having access to better health services. Cohesion Policy investments have supported 2.3 million people in the 10 Member States in finding a job, developing new skills or accessing social inclusion programmes. The interconnection concept for these results is cohesion. Cohesion is the glue that holds Europe together. It shapes a variety of factors that make Europeans more willing to cooperate. These factors include the connections between societies and economies, people-to-people contacts across borders, as well as attitudes and expectations. But what is the level of cohesion among the EU Member States? The chapter aims to the comprehensive measurement of the cohesion across time for all the EU Member States via Cohesion Monitor.
