"I want to welcome the adoption of this report and to underline the importance of Objective 3, which concerns territorial cooperation, in the European Union’s cohesion policy. Our Parliament is calling for an increase in the share of the Structural Funds earmarked for this objective – from the current 2.5% to 7% – and I strongly support this position. Objective 3 must be maintained and, even more importantly, developed, so that we can pursue the integration of Community territory across national borders. As a Member of Parliament representing a constituency very much affected by cross-border issues, and as someone who comes from the only region in France which shares a border with three other EU Member States, I take a great interest in these issues and in projects for cross-border cooperation. These territorial cooperation areas are privileged areas for European cooperation, particularly cross-border cooperation. In these areas, borders, barriers and obstacles are less ‘real’. Furthermore, in becoming genuine project zones, these cooperation areas have an essential role to play in consolidating links at local level, between partners from different Member States and between citizens who come together to deal with joint problems. Territorial cooperation must be encouraged."@en1
