"‘Territorial cooperation’ has become one of the three pillars of EU cohesion policy, succeeding the Community initiative INTERREG. Subsequently, under Article 174 of the Treaty of Lisbon, territorial cohesion has become one of the three components of cohesion policy, alongside economic and social cohesion. This is one of the European Union’s main priorities. The aim of this policy is to do away with physical, administrative and regulatory obstacles to cohesion, and to reduce the ‘border effect’ between territories and regions in order to enable them to address their shared challenges together, whether those challenges are territorial (services, infrastructure, urban and regional planning), global (globalisation, climate change), economic or societal. I voted in favour because of the main thrust of the report, specifically: strengthening the ‘territorial cooperation’ objective through territorial cohesion programming at all planning stages and in coordination with the Europe 2020 strategy; adopting a territorial approach to other EU policies; encouraging the establishment of European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation (EGTCs); simplifying the implementation of this policy; and committing to making it visible across Europe are the reasons behind my vote in favour."@en1
