(5) The ERDF should contribute to the Europe 2020 strategyeconomic, social and territorial cohesion, thus ensuring greater concentration of ERDF support on the priorities of the Union. 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 perioda number of priorities. The cohesion policy contributes to a great extent to the achievement of the EU 2020 strategy objectives. As Article 176 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union points out the aim of the ERDF is to help to redress the main regional imbalances in the Union, taking into account regional and local development needs.

Recital 11
(11) Specific attention should be paid to the outermost regions, namely by extending, on an exceptional basis, the scope of the ERDF to the financing of operating aid linked to the offsetting of the additional costs resulting from their specific economic and social situation, which is compounded by the handicaps resulting from the factors referred to in Article 349 of the Treaty, namely their remoteness, insularity, small size, difficult topography and climate and their economic dependence on a few products, the permanence and combination of which severely restrain their development. In order to support the development of existing and new economic activities, at least 530 % of the specific additional allocation should be allocated to actions contributing to the diversification and modernisation of the economies of the outermost regions.
