lpv:translated text	"In future, the European Union’s cohesion policy must be bolder in taking macro-regional strategies such as the Baltic Sea Strategy and the Danube Region Strategy into consideration more than has hitherto been the case. Macro-regional strategies are well-placed to take advantage of transnational potential, to improve cooperation between different levels of government, to make use of a common approach in order to tackle common problems, and to increase regional competitiveness and the capacity for innovation. In preparing cohesion policy for the upcoming period, it is necessary to specify more clearly how to implement the macro-regional strategies in the upcoming period and what their role and place within cohesion policy should be, as well as how they should be financed in the upcoming period. It is important that macro-regional strategies be examined in the context of the objective of European territorial cohesion prescribed in the Treaty of Lisbon and the EU’s territorial development plan for 2020. The European Commission must provide more precise guidelines for Member States, such as a specification of particular courses of action or areas that have macro-regional relevance: for example, transport corridors, the free movement of services and environmental issues. Through better coordination of existing support mechanisms, it will become possible to make more purposeful use of the EU’s structural funds without requiring a greater allocation of resources to those inter-regional areas of cooperation. I also believe that it is extremely important to provide for additional resources to coordinate macro-regional strategies and increase cooperative synergy. Coordination requires continuous improvement, and the responsibility of Member States in this area should certainly be increased."@en1
