The Library is also home to a number of national and regional initiatives.

Carifesta now falls under a regional initiative to develop cultural events.

I fully support the strengthening of links between European, national and regional initiatives.

In my view, today the multilateral approach still deserves to take priority over regional initiatives.

What we have achieved is a change to framework conditions through regional initiatives with international concepts.

I think that the texts in respect to regional initiatives have an enormous importance for the development of the market.

In doing so, we make an active contribution, qualify workers and take all kinds of regional initiatives for the years following the crisis.

This is not just a regional initiative, however: it should be seen as an all-European project.

Finally, I also believe that we should consider other regional initiatives, but not allow the strategy to drown in them.

The Fund is also to encourage local and regional initiatives on employment.
