"The Baltic Sea macro-region created in 2009 brings together a coherent set of territories that wish to cooperate in order to find better solutions to the economic and environmental problems facing them. This cooperation has taken the form of a macro-regional strategy designed to coordinate the existing extensive sectoral cooperation and based on four pillars – environment, prosperity, accessibility and security – and an action plan setting out 15 priority areas and 80 flagship projects. Macro-regional strategies offer new prospects for territorial cooperation projects supported by cohesion policy. They can assist the broad EU strategies, such as trans-European transport networks or the integrated maritime policy. They can ensure better coordination between regional programmes and the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy. The Mediterranean basin shares the same natural environment, and its shores are connected by the same history and culture. Significant opportunities exist in southern Europe, which cannot be seized without the coordination and overview permitted by the definition of a macro-regional strategy. A development dynamic based around the Mediterranean could drive forward the whole European economy. I believe that the EU Member States and regions in the Mediterranean area must commit to a reinforced cooperation approach. This must be opened up to all partners in this area which is essential to the future of Europe. A macro-regional strategy is the best way of achieving this goal."@en1
