In
view of negotiations on the future EU budget, regions and cities
today called for strengthened investment opportunities for
sustainable tourism, during a meeting of the EPP Group in Faro.
Participants underlined that in line with the Europe 2020 targets for
economic, ecological and social development, sustainable tourism can
generate a large percentage of GDP and provide a beacon of hope for
young people.
“The Europe 2020 Strategy is our model for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Today, we have learned that tourism is closely linked to all three of these targets.” Michael Schneider, President of the EPP Group in the Committee of the Regions, expressed. “Local and regional authorities play an essential role in developing and managing tourism projects and that is why we need to ensure that sufficient attention is paid to these programmes and projects in the future budget.” The EPP Group’s declaration therefore calls for a spirit of multilevel governance when further developing EU policy in this field in order to further enhance cooperation.

Mercedes Bresso and Marek Wozniak, Marshal
of the Wielkopolska Region, will on 8 and 9 September host talks in the Polish
city of Poznań on the reform of regional policy and will launch the conference of
regional and local authorities for the Eastern Partnership (CORLEAP).
Political developments in the countries of Eastern Europe and the Southern Caucasus have an impact on the European Union's security, stability and prosperity. This is why the European Commission launched the "Eastern Partnership" in December 2008, putting forward concrete ideas for enhancing the EU's relationship with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, from deep and comprehensive free trade agreements to gradual visa liberalisation. The Polish Council presidency has made this initiative one of its key priorities.
