lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because macro-regional strategies offer new prospects for territorial cooperation projects supported by cohesion policy. Several macro-region projects are at a fairly advanced stage. The macro-regional strategy for the Baltic Sea was adopted in 2009 and, when discussing this strategy, the Commission has stressed ‘the value of this new way of cooperating’. The Union for the Mediterranean is currently being developed and its potential as a catalyst in the region is increasing. The Mediterranean has played a major geopolitical role in European history. However, within the EU, the Mediterranean area is unstructured. Its performance in terms of cooperation and interconnection is very poor. Outside the EU, those populations living in the Mediterranean region have very low standards of living at all levels: economic, social, environmental and political. The development of these societies is essential for them, and an opportunity for Europe to capitalise on greater security, more sustainable control of immigration flows and direct participation in this growth area. This would positively impact on the performance of its own economy. A macro-regional approach would thus enable an overall project to be set out in this area vital to the EU’s future, with a view to emerging from the present crisis and responding to the expectations of all its neighbours, particularly those in the southern Mediterranean."@en1
