To take account of the time needed to refocus investments in the context of the mid-term review and allow best use of available resources, the final date for the eligibility of expenditure and the decommitment rules should be adjusted for programmes that carry out a reallocation of resources to strategic priorities in the context of the mid-term review exercise. It should also be possible to apply a higher co-financing rate to priorities in programmes under the Investment for jobs and growth goal covering one or more NUTS level 2 regions bordering Russia, Belarus or Ukraine, taking into account the adverse impact on those regions of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and with due regard to the need for timely closure, the commencement of new programmes and the full absorption of programme funding.
