In particular, the Community shall aim at reducing disparities between the levels of development of the various regions. 2 On 24 June 1988, the Council agreed on a regulation 2052/88 which put existing EU funds into the context of ‘economic and social cohesion’. 3 Previous periods allocation: € 65 billion (1989-93); € 159 billion (1994-99); € 213 billion (2000-06).

But compared with the classical individual human rights there are specific features of minority rights that can only be exercised collectively (religious activities, cultural, education facilities, language rights, etc.). 7 Jackson Preece, J. (1997), “National minority rights vs. state sovereignty in Europe: changing norms in international relations?”, Nations and nationalism, vol 3, n. 3, pp. 345-64 8 On 6th February 1998, Claude Erignac, the regional prefect of Corsica, i.e. the most important French government official on the island, was shot dead in the streets of Ajaccio. Yvan Colonna, a Corsican nationalist linked to the FLNC, has been convicted for his assassination on 13 December 2007. 9 Law 2002-92 of 22 January 2002 in relation to Corsica. 10 The Greek Nationality Law N.3370, enacted in 1955, states in Chapter B, Section VI, Article 19: “A person of non-Greek ethnic origin leaving Greece without the intention of returning may be declared as having lost Greek nationality . . . The Ministry of Interior Affairs decides in these matters with the concurring opinion of the National Council.” 170 After the crisis: A new socio-economic settlement for the EU

Ethnic Minorities: The Case of ex Article 19 of the Greek Nationality Code”, European Journal of Migration and Law, 6, pp. 205. 12 After article 19 of the Greek Citizenship Code other similar discriminatory laws have been repealed, such as those that deprived ethnic Turks of basic rights of property and occupation (see the Human Rights Watch World Report for Greece, 1993). 13 The 1920 Autonomy Act was followed by laws in 1951 and 1991 that expanded the scope of autonomy. The Islands have autonomous legislative and executive bodies; the Finnish government controls foreign affairs, customs and currency and the judicial system, with the Islands having autonomy in all other areas. 14 All ten CEECs have signed the convention; whereas Belgium, Greece, Luxembourg and Netherlands have signed, but not ratified it. France has not even signed it.
