    Interventions from the conference (alphabetical order):You can rewatch the event here.Ann-Sofi Backgren, Presidentof the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) and Member of the Regional Council of Ostrobothnia, stressed the need of a stronger Cohesion Policy within the new MFF and the Recovery Fund taking into account European territories facing specific difficulties such as border, mountain, peripheral regions, islands and other maritime regions; additional constraints like sparse and/or aged population, brain drain, lack of infrastructures and public services; and of course general challenges, namely climate and demographic changes, transition to more sustainable development approaches and energy sources, optimal digitalisation, and resilience to global threats like Covid-19. Many border regions share many of these circumstances, and there are further difficulties related to the growing need to coordinate diverse national regulations which might collide at national boundaries.The #CohesionAlliance calls for a strong, effective and flexible cohesion policy based on long-term perspectives and the principles of partnership involving local and regional governments in all recovery measures.

    • The #CohesionAlliance calls for a strong, effective and flexible cohesion policy based on long-term perspectives and the principles of partnership involving local and regional governments in all recovery measures.
    • This will help kickstart and rebuild the economy, foster sustainability and strengthen territorial and social cohesion in the European Union.
    • This is why we need a strong cohesion policy and a fair and cohesive recovery.
    • Cohesion DNA can be seen throughout the Commission's recovery proposals: the generous provision for cohesion policy and the cohesion method in the recovery fund and elsewhere.
    • Short-term recovery must be complementary to the pursuit of long-term objectives, in particular economic, social and territorial cohesion.
    • Anyone who believes in a strong EU cohesion policy is welcome to join the #CohesionAlliance by signing the new declaration.
    • All 12.000 signatories of the initial declaration are invited to reaffirm their political commitment by raising awareness about the vital role of cohesion policy and the need for a strong cohesion policy in the next long-term EU budget and Recovery Plan.
