[...] The cohesion policy is the EU's primary investment policy and focusses mainly on territorial cohesion, sustainable development, economic growth and mainstreaming of environmental considerations into policies and programmes across the EU.25 The Ministry of Finance is the national coordinator for the RRP, and the main body responsible for coordinating how the plan is monitored and implemented.
