"I would like to express my support for the Commission proposal on establishing a Community legal instrument in the form of the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation. I wholeheartedly support this initiative. It stems from a need to improve current solutions and overcome difficulties in territorial cooperation resulting from the different legal systems and procedures.
I am convinced that this new initiative will make cross-border, interregional and international cooperation easier and more efficient. The Treaty objective of achieving greater social and economic cohesion became particularly important after 1 May 2004, when the European Union welcomed 10 new Member States, including Poland. The poorest regions of the European Union lie precisely within the borders of these new Member States. However, we cannot look at them from a purely economic point of view. We need to see the cultural heritage of these regions and how much they have to offer their partners in cooperation. Legal and administrative problems should not be allowed to impede progress and should be solved in a more effective manner than they have been to date.
I hope that the regulation on establishing a European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation, which represents nearly two years of legislative work, as well as the common position drawn up by the Council and the excellent reports drafted by Mr Olbrycht and adopted by the European Parliament will allow us to achieve this goal and create a model for European integration based on solidarity and harmony."@en1
