“The cohesion policy must not be marginalized,” said Marek Woźniak at a high-level conference in Brussels. The President of the Wielkopolska Region and Head of the Polish Delegation in the Committee of the Regions drew the delegates’ attention to the fact that the EU cohesion policy may require reforms, but cannot be marginalized.
The role of the cohesion policy in the search for a possible way out of the economic crisis, as well as its future beyond the current programming period were the core themes of a high level conference held last Wednesday in Brussels. Among the participants were top politicians and experts representing EU institutions, as well as regional and national governments.

In his famous poem “Voyelles” (Vowels) French poet Arthur Rimbaud associated each vowel with a particular colour. MEPs are just as adept at using colour, but don’t be fooled into thinking that they have been inspired by the poetic muse. In their case, the use of colour is a practical way of identifying the composition of the parliamentary week, where each of the calendar’s four colours corresponds to a specific parliamentary activity. Details are “coloured in” below.
