Van den Brande, a Belgian centre-right politician who yesterday (10 February) finished his mandate as CoR president, believes that structural funds are a showcase for what the EU does best, and should be maintained at their current budget levels.

However, they must be reformed to be more flexible, eschewing a "one-size-fits-all" approach, and more importantly they must be intimately linked to the overall EU 2020 strategy, which will determine the EU's growth and employment blueprint for the coming decade.

The EU's new strategy for growth and jobs will not succeed unless it maintains structural funds and gives regions real responsibility, outgoing Committee of the Regions (CoR) President Luc Van den Brande told EurActiv in an interview.
