"I voted in support of the report on territorial cohesion because I firmly believe that this concept should be developed and applied as a horizontal principle underpinning all the Community’s policies and actions.
During today’s debate on the cohesion policy, we called for a significant reinforcement during the next programming period of the direct involvement of regional and local authorities in the planning and implementation of the relevant programmes. The European Union’s policies, and more particularly the cohesion policy, have transformed governance from an often centralised system into an increasingly integrated, multi-level system.
This is why I think that Member States must be encouraged to establish a system of territorial governance based on an integrated ‘bottom-up’ approach, which also allows more active civil participation. I urge Member States to start thinking about how they can consolidate and support better the concept of territorial cohesion in their national programmes and policies.
In this context, I believe that the fundamental principles of coordinated development and urban-rural partnership are especially important and must be strictly observed."@en1
