[FR] Reflexion on the future of the European Policy of Economic and Social Cohesion after the Enlargment

With the publication of its second report on cohesion in February 2001, the European Commission launched a wide-ranging debate on the future of economic and social cohesion policy after 2006. At the Forum on 21 and 22 May 2001 and the seminar on 27 and 28 May 2002 entitled ‘The Union’s priorities for the regions – the Community added value’, the Commission’s initial ideas were presented and discussed by several hundred people.

Over the last two years, Notre Europe has organised several seminars and conferences on this topic:
