Among other objectives, competitiveness, privatisation, reducing the public sector and the role of the State in the economy, public-private partnerships, support for the infrastructure of recently privatised sectors and flexibility of the labour market have become objectives of the pseudo-policy of ‘cohesion’.
Målene i denne pseudo-"samhørighedspolitik" er bl.a. konkurrencedygtighed, privatisering, indskrænkning af den offentlige sektor og statens rolle i økonomien, offentlige-private partnerskaber, støtte til nyligt privatiserede sektorers infrastruktur og et fleksibelt arbejdsmarked.
