"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, since 2005, when the matter of the Baltic Sea was discussed, macro-regional strategies have met with particular interest in the European Parliament.
I am delighted that today, thanks to my colleague, Alain Cadec, we are able to provide the impetus for an ambitious regional strategy for the Atlantic Arc. In addition to the many areas requiring coordination and joint work and the importance of an integrated approach that will allow us to address the region’s problems at the macro-regional level, I would like to emphasise two points in particular.
The territorial cooperation objective, Objective 3 of the cohesion policy, and, in particular, its transnational aspects, should be brought in to support these strategies by coordinating discussions and project development and coordination.
Member States and regions should be encouraged to take part in jointly devised actions through their operational programmes. Unfortunately, without strong political will, these strategies will simply meet a dead end. Whilst Europe does not want to cover itself with macro-regions, it needs to take on board the territorial constraints that have not disappeared simply because our borders have been removed."@en1
