lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Mr Beaupuy has managed to draw up an excellent report that contains initiatives that can be implemented straight away with 2007-2013 in mind. It was a pleasure to listen to Commissioner Hübner’s speech this morning, in which she made specific commitments to the effect that we can look forward to a new framework as early as at December’s informal Council. I unreservedly endorse this report. Mr Jacques Delors used to speak about the Europe of the regions. If we were to draw up the balance sheet right now, it would be the Europe of the regions and the cities. Last year, I helped initiate a study in which we compared eight countries, eight regions and eight urban poles of development. This involved cities such as Milan, Dublin, Bristol and Nantes, and showed that it is the best possible cooperation between the region and the city that leads to the best results. It is therefore important that this same cohesion, and not competence, should be the basis of any analysis. Cohesion between the region and between the cities, good governance and multi-level governance offer the best prospects. I have noticed that in Europe, even in my own region, a new synthesis is developing: hierarchy is making way for synergy. My region comprises a large area encompassing five cities that have joined forces. Good regional policy also implies good urban policy. That being the case, I should like to revisit this notion when the regulations are laid down later on in the year. Drawing up urban lists to promote the programmes is a fine thing, provided that it does not lead to fragmentation. In summary, given that cities are the pioneers in their regions socially and economically, it is useful if we in the Committee on Regional Development could review the clarification of the Committee’s role in the urban dimension. Finally, the Commissioner has indicated that she wants to give this urban dimension even more prominence in the regulations. I would like to ask her if she could say anything about this during this sitting."@en1
