The European Commission has today published a report on the governance of the EU´s Macro-Regional Strategies. The cooperation method of these Strategies has gained impetus and support across Europe since the first for the Baltic Sea Region was adopted in 2009. Common challenges are tackled by a number of countries - both EU and non EU members- working together, streamlining their resources to ensure an effective and joined -up response.

The entire report is available in all EU-langauges if you click on this link. More information is also available on the Inforegio´s web page.

Next month Commissioner for Regional Policy Johannes Hahn will attend the Forum on the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (3-4 June in Turku, Finland) and Forum on the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (26-27 June in Vienna, Austria). Also a Communication and Action Plan for the EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR) will be adopted by the Commission on 18 June.
