Recital 17
(17) The ERDF should help to redress the main regional imbalances in the Union and to reduce disparities between the levels of development of the various regions and the backwardness of the least favoured regions including those facing challenges due to the decarbonisation commitments. It should also foster resilience and prevent vulnerable territories from falling behind. ERDF support under the Investment for jobs and growth goal should therefore be concentrated on key Union priorities in line with policy objectives laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/xxx [new CPR]. Therefore support from the ERDF should be concentrated on the policy objectives of 'a smarter Europe by promoting innovative and smart economic transformation' and 'a greener, low-carbon Europe by promoting clean and fair energy transition, green and blue investment, the circular economy, climate adaptation and risk prevention and management'. That thematic concentration should be attained at natregional level while allowing for flexibility at the level of individual programmes and between the three groups of Member Statecategories of regions formed according to respective gross national income. In addition, the methodology to classify Member States should be set out in detailgional Gross Domestic Product and taking into account the specific situation of the outermost regions.

Recital 26 a (new)
(26a) For the purpose of strengthening economic, social and territorial cohesion, as envisaged in Article 174 TFEU, the European Urban Initiative and support for rural, mountainous and isolated areas, particularly those most affected by demographic decline, should be the two sides of the same coin, that is to say, they should focus not only on the more central urban hubs and their surrounding fabric, but also on the more remote rural areas located further away from them. Indeed, priority could even be given to more remote, rural or mountainous areas with low urban or demographic density, through the formulation and development of specific measures encompassing outlying urban centres, accompanied by services or infrastructures that will inevitably be necessary to ensure a functional and successful outcome.
