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.
