"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the report we have adopted today proposes the creation of a single working and services area for the maritime, mountain and lake areas of the Mediterranean basin, with the participation of national governments and, above all, local and regional authorities.
This project rekindles the political ideal of a Europe of the regions, in line with the founding fathers’ original vision for Europe. To highlight the importance of macro-regions, I would like to highlight and bring to your attention an initiative that came about, in part, as a result of the work and ideas of my party’s representatives. It is the agreement to create the macro-region of the Alps, signed in St Gallen, Switzerland, on 29 June by regions belonging to France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. The leaders of the three northern Italian regions of Veneto, Lombardy and Piedmont took part in the meeting.
I hope this initiative will soon come to fruition, not least in this Chamber, thereby helping Europe evolve towards a genuine Europe of the people and of the regions. That is the only way to overcome the current financial crisis, to add value to our regions and their special quality products, to revive the economy in real terms, and to fully implement the principle of subsidiarity. That is why I voted for Mr Alfonsi’s report."@en1
