(blau) Bitte überschreiben.  Europe should take a new view on city-regional cooperation in general and understand it as an opportunity within the EU 2020 Strategy and equally within traditional Cohesion Politics.  Europe should help simplifying cooperation in, beyond and among (functional) city-regions (programs, statistics, NUTS).  Europe should encourage cooperation within all types of functional regions e.g. by an adjustment of the regional scope of Interreg IVa after 2013 (condition regional funding on EGTC with European added value).  The EU-Com and national authorities of spatial planning should run or accompany European „model projects“.
