European Parliament
Alain Cadec  (PPE ),

I voted for the adoption of this report, which highlights the need to develop macro-regional strategies at EU level. As rapporteur on the Atlantic strategy for the European Parliament, I share the rapporteur’s vision on the need to follow a multi-sectoral approach. In my view, it is important to support and develop territorial cooperation projects. These projects are relevant as they enable us to respond to local problems more effectively. I also support the initiative to develop a macro-regional strategy in the Mediterranean. This is a welcome development following the ‘Arab Spring’ and the democratic transition in the countries along the southern shores of the Mediterranean.
