(5) The ERDF should contribute to the Europe 2020 strategy, thus ensuring greater concentration of ERDF support on the priorities of the Union. The alignment of the cohesion policy objectives with the Europe 2020 strategy for a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth has the potential to make the Union more competitive in the face of global competition; however it has to be noted that any alignment results in Cohesion policy serving exclusively EU2020 priorities go against the position of the European Parliament, as it was expressed in its resolution of 5 July 2011 on the Commission's fifth Cohesion Report and the strategy for post -2013 cohesion policy (2011/2035 (INI)). Therefore, an adherence to the core principles of economic, social and territorial cohesion will have the added value of sustaining the achievements of Europe 2020. According to the category of regions supported, the support from the ERDF should be concentrated on research and innovation, small and medium-sized enterprises and climate change mitigation. The degree of concentration should take into account the level of development of the region as well as the specific needs of regions whose GDP per capita for the 2007-13 period was less than 75% of the average GDP of the EU-25 for the reference period.
