“Cohesion and the Lisbon Agenda: The Role of the Regions”

Some two weeks before the European Council meets to review the Lisbon strategy of March 2000, Danuta Hübner, the Commissioner responsible for regional policy, has invited more than 500 participants - among them the elected leaders of many EU regions, regional policy stakeholders and experts - to discuss how regions can make Lisbon work. The European Union’s 254 regions have a key role to play in a new partnership for growth and employment as recently proposed by the Commission in its re-launch of the Lisbon strategy.
