Germany presents Territorial Agenda for the EU 14-08-2006 The German government has adopted a draft Territorial Agenda for the EU, up
for discussion during the upcoming German EU Presidency. Germany will take up
the Presidency on 1 January 2007. An Informal Ministerial conference on the
Agenda will be held in Leipzig on 24 and 25 May 2007. The Territorial Agenda
discusses the role European cities and regions can play in meeting the EU´s
goals of sustainable economic development.
At the Ministerial Conference in Leipzig ministers responsible for Spatial
Development in EU Member States will adopt the so-called Territorial Agenda for
the EU. Agreeing upon this Agenda constitutes the preliminary culmination of a
process which was launched on the occasion of the Informal Ministerial
conference in Rotterdam in 2004 and was continued in Luxembourg in 2005.
The Territorial Agenda for the EU aims at mobilising the potentials of
European regions and cities for sustainable economic growth and more jobs. The
recommendations delivered by the Territorial Agenda of the EU are based on an
analysis embodied in the expert report document "Territorial State and
Perspectives of the EU".

Ministry of Transport Building and Urban Affairs (BMVBS; see link below).
