 | EC publishes Cohesion policy guidelines for cities 19-07-2006 The European Commission has published a Communication “Cohesion policy and
cities”. The communication sets out the framework for sustainable urban
development in European Regional Policy for the period 2007-2013. National
authorities are invited to use this communication and involve local authorities
in the preparation of the new round of Cohesion Policy programmes.
This Communication builds upon the working paper “Cohesion Policy and
Cities”, presented during the British EU Presidency in December 2005. It is up
to the individual member states to sub-delegate the implementation of urban
actions to urban authorities. Many people in the field, including members of the
URBAN-Housing Intergroup in the European Parliament, fear that national
authorities will neglect the urban issues in their operational programmes by
bypassing local authorities.
