Regional Policy of the EU as an Instrument of Social Solidarity

In 2006 the European Union's cohesion policy entered into its seventeenth year of existence. What distinguishes the EU's cohesion policy from regional development policies undertaken by national governments in Europe and the regional policy implemented by the Community before 1989 is that it represents a revolutionary change in the way development policies are con&not ; ceived and carried out. While previous regional policy concentrated extensively on the role of the national administrative system or specialized development agencies in the implementation of projects, the present approach is characterized by an extensive involvement of different administrative levels and socio-economic groups in the formulation and implementation of the policy.
