"The Green Paper on territorial cohesion entitled ‘Turning territorial diversity into strength’ launches a broad consultation with regional and local authorities, associations, NGOs and civil society with the aim of promoting a common understanding of this new concept, along with its implications for the EU’s future regional policy, without however offering a definition of ‘territorial cohesion’.
The objective of territorial cohesion is to ensure the harmonious development of all the EU’s territories and to offer all citizens the opportunity to gain the most out of the inherent characteristics of these territories. The Green Paper proposes that diversity should be converted specifically into an asset and competitive advantage, which contributes to the sustainable development of the whole EU. It also refers specifically to the need for effective control over the cohesion policy to make it become more flexible.
The main challenge involves helping territories to use this asset and exchange good practices. Mr van Nistelrooij’s report covers this vast area of territorial cohesion and expresses effective views on the Commission’s communications in this area. As a result, the Green Paper on territorial cohesion remains open to new challenges, but is being transformed into an effective instrument for partnerships and exchanges of good practice."@en1
