The EU budget negotiation and Cohesion policy reform had significant effects on Spain and its regions. Spain received a lot of support in the past, but changes in eligibility criteria due to EU enlargement and Spain's growth impacted funding. The paper reviews how the reform was done, the budget allocations for Spain, and the economic effects of Cohesion policy from 1989-2006. It also looks at the economic implications of the new policy framework from 2007-2013.
