MANAGEMENT
A policy for all European regions
•
The European economic integration, driven by the Single Market
can only work if all regions can contribute and reap the benefits.
•
There is potential for growth across all types of regions,
dependent on how well regions mobilize their assets and
potentials.
•
Cohesion policy should play a stronger role in strengthening inter-
connections between lagging and leading regions (maximising
spill-over effects of leading areas).
