How cohesion policy delivers the Lisbon strategy

In a Communication adopted on 11 December, Danuta Hübner and Vladimír Špidla make clear that the new cohesion policy programmes for the 2007-2013 period meet the main policy objective of "delivering the Lisbon strategy" in EU Member States and regions. The data now available for more than 400 national and regional programmes from all Member States, show for instance that more than € 85 million (25% of the total budget of cohesion policy) are planned to be invested in knowledge and innovation.
