Minister responsible for the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU, Lilyana Pavlova, said in the European Parliament's Committee on Regional Policy that, according to Bulgaria, Cohesion Policy should retain its important role in the European Union budget after 2020.

At the same time, Pavlova pointed out that a reform was needed to simplify the rules on redistribution of European resources. The Bulgarian presidency will promote the discussion on cohesion policy in line with these views within the General Affairs Council of the EU in April as well as at a high-level conference on cohesion policy and sustainable regions planned for June 8, Minister Pavlova added.
