The Committee on Regional Development (REGI) organised a Public Hearing entitled "Simplification and cutting red tape in European Structural and Investments Funds," during its meeting on 15 October 2015. Simplification has been a constant feature of discussions about Cohesion Policy and was a key item during the negotiations on the legislative package for the programming period 2014-2020.

The aim of simplification is to improve policy implementation and increase the efficiency and effectiveness as well as the accessibility of European Structural and Investments Funds. This has become even more important in the challenging context of the economic and financial crisis.

The scrutiny of the implementation of the wide range of simplification measures in Cohesion policy is an essential responsibility of the REGI Committee as they have an impact both on the set up and on the policy on the ground.

The Committee on Regional Development (REGI) organised a Public Hearing entitled "Cohesion Policy and Marginalised Communities". The hearing complemented the preparation of an own-initiative report on the same topic drafted by the EP rapporteur Ms Terry Reintke.

The report and the hearing aimed to strengthen the capacity of cohesion policy to tackle issues related to "marginalised communities". These communities were identified as a target group for support from cohesion policy instruments in 2010, during the implementation of the 2007-2013 programming period.

This development was confirmed as an element in the successor generation of the policy (2014-2020) in the course of the negotiations which led to the adoption of the relevant legislative instruments.
