To tie cohesion policy more systematically to the Europe 2020 objectives, the Commission proposes concentrating funding on a smaller number of priorities.

EU businesses and citizens face a variety of tax-related obstacles when engaging in cross-border activities. Such obstacles result from fragmentation and divergence in the way that the same transactions are treated in different EU countries.
