Macro-regional strategies offer new prospects for territorial cooperation, which is the basis for the trans-European transport networks and the integrated maritime policy, by providing a reference framework relevant to cohesion policy. Such a framework can influence the respective priorities of every regional development plan, ensuring greater involvement and better cooperation among the EU’s various intervention mechanisms. Macro-regional strategies also pool the resources of regions and Member States through multi-level governance, the only mechanism that can ensure the complementarity of Europe’s regional development policies.
