De rol van de particuliere sector in de versterking van het cohesiebeleid na 2027

Cohesion policy is the main EU investment policy to implement the treaty objective of strengthening the economic, social and territorial cohesion of the EU and local and regional authorities (LRAs) play a key role in its design and implementation. In light of a fiscally constrained context post-2027, it will be even more important to ensure that LRAs and other stakeholders are able to maximise the impact of EU public funds, including by optimising the participation of the private sector and private sector financing at all territorial levels.

Against this background, this opinion aims at exploring the current and potential role of the private sector in reinforcing Cohesion policy post 2027 and at enabling the CoR to put forward its political recommendations on the matter during the first months of the negotiations of the legislative package for post 2027.
