Cohesion works!

At least that’s what Charles White tried to convince us about during his presentation in Brussels. He used Spain as an example on a country that has developed a lot the last decades.

- Not only do we see that cohesion works in EU member states, but that counties like China, Brazil and the US learn from our way of dealing with these types of problems, said White, which used most of his presentation to present the new four main targets for cohesion policy in the budget period 2007 to 2013, which he listed as the following:

• Greater disparities with enlargement

• Achieving growth and sustainable development

• Globalisation and restructuring

• Dealing with aging population and slower growth

Here is a clip were Charles White talks about Spain as an example of that Cohesion works.
