"The European project began as a partnership between States. This partnership has ensured peace and stability in our part of Europe for over 50 years. As a result of the economic and political success in our part of the world, of which the EU is just one proof, and in view of the ever greater proliferation of our Western values, competition on the world market has grown considerably within the last few decades. The EU should be prepared to meet that competition. We can only do that by intensifying co-operation within the Community. It should not be about greater integration of the EU countries in the form of a federation but about using our economic potential across national borders. It is about co-operating on joint projects and about unifying forces on all sides. A programme such as INTERREG is there precisely to support regional development projects across national borders, projects which make it possible to build centres of economic growth at European level which will be able to take up the challenge from our competitors on a global scale. I therefore welcome the continuation of the programme."@en1
