At this point, I should like to distinguish between two aspects: first of all, that the level of cohesion cannot be measured only between countries but also between regions; secondly, that reinforcing this cohesion cannot be seen only as the co-responsibility of each Member State or only the responsibility of the European Union, but it has to be seen as shared responsibility by both.
Når dette er sagt, vil jeg fremhæve to aspekter: dels at samhørighedsgraden ikke alene skal måles mellem lande, men også mellem regioner; dels at styrkelsen af samhørigheden ikke må opfattes som værende den enkelte medlemsstats eller Den Europæiske Unions ansvar, men som et fælles ansvar.
