OPEN DAYS 2010 Final Programme - European Commission - Europa

REGI-COTER meeting: Added-value, added-vision: Cohesion Policy EU2020
Members of the European Parliament and of the Committee of the Regions will
discuss with the audience the future of cohesion policy and the repercussions of
the Europe 2020 strategy for the next programming period. Key issues will involve
the questions of how to combine cohesion policy objectives with the Europe
2020 strategy without subordinating the policy, and how to ensure that post-2013
earmarking contributes to balanced territorial development, given the lack of
a detailed analysis of the 2007-2013 period. Furthermore, some objectives of EU
cohesion policy are not fully covered by the Europe 2020 strategy, including social
cohesion that goes beyond inclusive growth. In this context, it should be asked
whether cohesion policy will receive sufficient financial resources to achieve also
these objectives. Speakers will also discuss what place territorial cohesion should
be given in the Europe 2020 strategy, and what role multilevel governance should
play in this.
Towards mobility and innovation in Europe's regions and cities
SMILE is organising an event on sustainable mobility. With its recently adopted
Action Plan on Urban Mobility, the European Commission intends to help local
authorities achieve their goals for a sustainable mobility. This is the starting
point of the event, from exchanging best practices of SMILEs regions and cities,
to debating new scenarios on sustainable mobility. Members of the European
Parliament and the Committee of the Regions as well as experts will share with the
speakers (politicians, officers) and the audience their positions, thus contributing
to shaping the future of sustainable mobility in Europe.
