Yey some of the weakest regions were not equipped with appropriate institutional structures and have struggled to benefit. In evaluating the reform, we revisit concepts such as justice and equity. While the reform may have given regions an entitlement to participate, we argue that some have lacked the capacity to do so effectively. In this context enlargement raises questions over the future of the Funds, and how far a committment to cohesion and convergence can be maintained
