"The aim of Objective 3 of cohesion policy is to bring all of the European regions, particularly cross-border regions, closer together in economic, social and environmental terms. This is because it is important to strengthen the links between these regions, particularly in the areas of energy and transport. At a time when we are living through what might be called a crisis of the European idea, it is good to reiterate the European added value that territorial cooperation provides. In order that Objective 3 can be implemented in the best way possible, therefore, we have asked for a substantial increase in the structural funds earmarked for this objective, with a view in particular to improving transport infrastructure and thus increasing the mobility of European citizens within regions and between them. As an elected representative of a cross-border region, I paid particular attention to this issue, and I am pleased that we have called for reinforced cooperation for local authorities, which means both cooperation between authorities and cooperation with the European institutions. We need to improve dialogue with these authorities in order to better understand the problems that exist and face up to the challenges. Finally, as it is still too complicated to implement the territorial cooperation programmes, we asked for them to be simplified and stressed the specific nature of the programmes associated with this objective, which are, by their very nature, international programmes."@en1
