"Macro-regional strategies offer new prospects for territorial cooperation projects supported by cohesion policy, while also offering more effective solutions to the economic and environmental problems facing the region concerned. The beneficial effects of this kind of strategy can be seen in the Baltic Sea macro-region, which was launched in 2009. I think that a similar situation should also exist in southern Europe. We should bear in mind that the Mediterranean area has 500 million inhabitants, less than one third of whom live within the European Union. Therefore, while not forgetting the importance of the Baltic Sea macro-region, we must also support a macro-regional strategy in the south, because this is what will do most to foster cooperation between the countries surrounding the Mediterranean. I think a development dynamic based around the Mediterranean could drive forward the whole European economy. This is why I voted in favour of the report."@en1
