". The concept of voluntary cross-border cooperation is one that I support and that deserves to be encouraged. Broadly speaking, I warmly welcome cooperation on various levels between the administrations of different Member States, especially when this is the result of a voluntary initiative undertaken by these administrations (although this can be encouraged) and when it does not lead to a new administrative and bureaucratic entity. I also welcome the fact that, in this specific case, this includes cross-border neighbourhoods outside the EU. I therefore voted for this report. There is one aspect, however, that I must make clear. These initiatives must not be encouraged or conceived on the basis of an approach that runs counter to that of the central powers. In other words, the EU must not, by means of such encouragement, seek to bring about the internal breakdown of individual Member States, which can only be harmful to them. This is not, and must not become, the Union’s role or purpose."@en1
