Danuta Hübner, European Commissioner for Regional Policy, met Hungarian Prime Minister Mr Ferenc Gyurcsány to discuss Cohesion Policy for 2007-2013. During her two-day visit, she travelled to Northern Hungary and the North Great Plain regions, where she met representatives of the country's seven growth poles. Ahead of her visit, she said: 'I welcome Hungary's decision to develop regional growth poles with EU investment to help catalyse growth in disadvantaged regions. It is important to make sure that projects in these poles prioritise Research and Development and innovation, the main driving forces of economic development.' The Commissioner also attended the launch of the transnational South-East Europe programme, which will offer opportunities for the Western Balkans to work closely with the European Union. |
