During the Informal meeting of ministers responsible for regional policy on
06 December 2005 in Bristol, United Kingdom, Commissioner Danuta Hübner
presented a paper on “Cohesion Policy and cities: the urban contribution to
growth and jobs in the regions”. This paper sets out an agenda for the promotion
of a more integrated and strategic approach to urban development that can
deliver more growth, jobs, social inclusion and improved environmental quality.
The proposals are part of the Commission’s reform of cohesion policy for the
2007-2013 period.
A public consultation on the Commission’s paper has been launched. This
consultation closed on 17 February 2006. The results of this consultation are
now available. These results will be taken into account when drafting the
Community Strategic Guidelines for Cohesion. The Strategic Guidelines will set
the framework and future priorities for European funded programmes in the
2007-2013 period.
