Paragraph 9 a (new)
9 a. Calls to transfer 25 % of the budget of the Structural Reform Support Programme (SRSP) to the Structural Funds to be directed towards additional support for carbon-dependent regions affected by the transition of jobs due to the necessary structural transition to a low-carbon economy. These regions shall have access to this additional support for the PO2 objectives of the Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund in order to facilitate a just transition. The aim is to support such regions, in particular those which are not already qualified for support under the Modernisation Fund under Directive 2003/87/EC, by promoting the redeployment, re-skilling and up-skilling of workers, education, job-seeking initiatives as well as development of new jobs, for example through start-ups, in close dialogue and coordination with the social partners."
