Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) Article 176 of the Treaty provides that the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is intended to help to redress the main regional imbalances in the Union and thus enhance the principle of territorial cohesion. The ERDF therefore contributes to reducing the gap between the levels of development of the various regions and the extent to which the least favoured regions, including rural and urban areas, declining industrial regions, areas with severe and permanent natural and demographic handicaps, such as islands, mountainous areas, sparsely populated areas and border regions, are lagging behind.

Recital 5
(5) The ERDF should contribute to the Europe 2020 strategy, 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 and sustainable transport infrastructure development. 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.

Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) A shift towards sustainable mobility - based on multimodal transport, integrated transport systems and diversion of international and transit traffic out of the city centres - is crucial to achieve its EU 2020 targets, given that transport accounts for 24 % of all CO2 emissions in the Union and transport in the Union has seen its emissions increase by 34 % since 1990. The sustainable mobility will require major investments, e.g. in bypassing urban areas, promotion of modern and environmentally friendly public transport, intelligent traffic management systems as well as public logistic platforms or intermodal terminals.
