Question for written answer  E-002825/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Mihai Tudose (S&D)

The latest Eurobarometer survey shows that EU citizens have a positive view of the impact of EU regional policy. The survey also highlights the areas that EU citizens consider to be priorities: they would predominantly like to see improved health and education infrastructure, job creation, greater energy efficiency and access to housing, and enhanced transport infrastructure and defence capabilities.

Half of the citizens canvassed call for EU cohesion policy to focus specifically on areas with high unemployment (63 %), disadvantaged urban areas (51 %) and remote rural or mountainous regions (50 %).

How does the Commission plan to reflect the views of EU citizens in its action in the field of regional cohesion?
