On 15 July 2025, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) Review 04/2025: “The Future of EU Cohesion Policy: Drawing lessons from the past” will be presented to Members of the Committee of Budgetary Control (CONT) and of the Committee on Budgets (BUDG) by reporting ECA Member Alejandro Blanco Fernández. The presentation will also be followed by an exchange of views with invited Members of the Committee on Regional Development (REGI).
The review aims to inform the future of EU cohesion policy by drawing on insights from ECA’s previous audit experience. It identifies strengths, weaknesses, and lessons from past and current implementation, and, where relevant, it compares ECA’s previous findings on cohesion policy with its conclusions on the Recovery and Resilience Facility. The review is intended to contribute to post-2027 cohesion policy discussions.
