Abstract

The debate and the concerns arising from the current economic crisis raise questions about the future of the EU redistributive policies and the financing of the EU budget. Although it is expected that the cohesion policy follows the reform process of recent decades, currently key elements of this policy are discussed, such as the funding, the characteristics of the new «transition regions», the conditionality linked to macroeconomic indicators added to the formulas to measure and to increase the efficiency. In this paper we analyze the instruments available for the Autonomous Communities to participate in the design of the future cohesion policy and review the functioning of the coordination mechanisms between the different levels of government in a negotiation process, which is crucial for the Autonomous Communities.
