| Summary: | The article shows proposed features of the regional policy of the European Union
after 2020. In mid-2018 the EU outlined the main parameters of the Multiannual Financial Framework for 2021-2027. Revision of EU policies traditionally takes place with the adoption of such financial frameworks, and the regional policy (EU Cohesion Policy) is not an exception. The paper
deals with the stated changes in the EU Cohesion Policy and new features of the distribution of
funding for its needs. Based on the analysis of earlier reforms of the EU regional policy, the conclusion is made about cosmetic changes in the Cohesion Policy after 2020. In fact, as at the beginning
of the current decade, when the parameters of the Multiannual Financial Framework for 2014-2020
were determined, the EU preferred minor adjustments, which are presented as significant improvements. Thus, Brexit did not become, like the crisis in the Euro area, an occasion for radical changes
in the Cohesion policy designed to respond to the new challenges facing the European integration
project. This once again calls into question the EU's ability to promote, through its Cohesion Policy,
the competitiveness of European economies and the resolution of acute social problems.
