"We consider it crucial to promote policies encouraging effective economic and social cohesion in the European Union, especially in a situation of profound structural crisis, huge social inequalities and regional asymmetries. Promoting cohesion can, and must, involve cooperation between countries and regions with differing affinities, which includes intervention aimed at preserving ecological balance and promoting fair, balanced and sustainable development. This vision is, in part, included in the report and in the approach to drawing up macro-regional strategies. However, the EU often subverts the concept of cohesion, in particular, through the ‘renationalisation’ of the costs of EU polices, a lack of funds for cohesion or by imposing conditions, tying countries to strategies, such as the Europe 2020 strategy, whose aims and objectives run counter to the desired cohesion. We appreciate the number of good intentions found in this report, but we cannot fail to express our concern about some of these points. Moreover, we have serious reservations about some of the points in the report, which are similar to the EU’s vision as a hegemonic power in the Mediterranean region, revealing undisguised imperialist ambitions."@en1
