Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Motivations of revision: New challenges
Recent trends with significant influence on the EU territory in line
with results of TSP update
• Economic and financial crisis
• Growing complexity of demographic and social issues, including
cultural aspects
• Increasing attention and changing approach to climate change
• Higher volatility of food and energy prices and challenges of energy
security
• Aspects of an enlarged EU territory
• Major global and local-regional responses
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Motivations of revision: Changing policy context
Most important milestones:
• Lisbon Treaty: territorial cohesion as third objective of EU
• Green Paper on Territorial Cohesion: ‘Turning territorial diversity into
strength’ and following discussion on TC (Kiruna conference)
• Discussions on the future of Cohesion Policy (Barca Report, etc.)
• EU 2020 and recovery packages of the EU
• Revised EU Sustainable Development Strategy
 Permanent strategic watch of policy developments is
needed
+
ESPON Synthesis Report is coming in autumn 2010
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
EU 2020 – A European strategy for smart, sustainable
and inclusive growth
The three priorities of EU 2020 are as follows:
“– Smart growth: developing an economy based on knowledge and
innovation.
– Sustainable growth: promoting a more resource efficient, greener
and more competitive economy.
– Inclusive growth: fostering a high-employment economy delivering
social and territorial cohesion.”
•
•
EU2020 Strategy does NOT include any section
specifically dedicated to territorial issues
BUT it has a few (rather randomly placed)
territorial references, e.g.:
–
–
–
•
urban and rural development,
cross-border cooperation,
EU in the world, etc.
AND it definitively will have considerable implications for
European territorial development.

EU 2020 and the TA could (should) cross-fertilise.
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Barca report (2009): AN AGENDA FOR A REFORMED
COHESION POLICY
•
•
The Barca Report on future cohesion policy emphasizes the need for a
place-based approach in a reformed cohesion policy.
Its keywords are: multi-level governance, concentration of priorities
and resources, accountability, orientating grants to results, etc.
The following priorities are explicitly mentioned in the Barca report:
CONCENTRATING RESOURCES
 1-2 core priorities must have a predominantly
“social inclusion” objective:

3. The reform
•


the social and the territorial agendas must come
together in a territorialized social agenda, an agenda
aimed at persons and aware that policy effectiveness
depends on contexts,
a unique opportunity for the EU to respond to the
increasing constraints on Member States’ social policies
while respecting the diversity of national social
contracts,
a case for migration
 1-2 core priorities must have a predominantly
“economic” objective:

a case for innovation, by adopting new results-oriented
methods
 other possibilities: climate change, children,
skills, aging
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Review of EU Sustainable Development Strategy
•
Renewed EU Sustainable Development Strategy (2006) is an important policy
framework document covering mutually supportive thematic objectives:

•
environmental protection, economic prosperity, social cohesion and global
responsibility.
Mainstreaming of sustainable development, an overarching and long-term goal
of the EU into EU policies (COM, 2009): Review of the EU SDS

•
•
responding to new challenges like financial and economic crisis
The EU SDS does NOT include any section espec. dedicated to territorial issues
BUT some territorial indications are explicitly mentioned, e.g.:

urban transport, employment opportunities in rural areas, etc.
7 cross-cutting challenges in EU SDS:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Climate change and clean energy
Sustainable transport
Sustainable consumption and production
Management of natural resources
Public health
Social inclusion, demography and migration
Global poverty
The EU SDS includes three further horizontal
policy issues:
1.
2.
3.
Education and training
Research and development
Financing and economic instruments
The EU SDS being as holistic as it is, has implications
basicly to all TA challenges and priorities
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Main findings of the report of the Swedish presidency on the
realization of the First Action Programme
•
need for strengthening coordination
•
greater emphasis on delivery mechanisms and governance
aspects
•
more visibility and awareness raising
•
better communication towards the wider public including all
stakeholders
•
permanent strategic dialogue on EU, national and subnational
level cross-cutting all sectors for a successful
territorialisation of EU policy making.
•
more focused approach in revised TA
•
main target groups have to be clearly addressed
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
TA assessment – expert exercise
 most challenges and priorities defined in the TA2007 are still valid
 however their content needs slight modification, more focusing
New CHALLENGES (e.g.)
 effects of global economic and financial crisis;
vulnerable local economies and communities;
growing peripherality and discrepancies
within EU;
rural and depopulating areas
Ideas for new PRIORITIES (e.g.)
shrinking regions and
unbalanced demography;
 diversity and utilization of rural
territories
local responses and local,
regional systems
IMPLEMENTATION
– determination of main addressees
– clear messages for sectoral policies
– increased role for territorial coordination
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Member state example
Hungarian Efforts
Efforts towards horizontal aspects of territorial cohesion:
Policy: National concept in line with territorial cohesion
Knowledge creation: territorial monitoring, evaluation system
Programmes: horizontal objective in the NSRF 2013
Projects: criteria of selection of projects to be supported
Methodology, awareness raising:

Scoping towards TA 2011
•
Compass function:
–
–
–
–
•
Orienting cohesion policy 2014+
Orinentation and co-ordination for member states
Recommendations for EU policies
Clear understanding of territorial matters
Actors, competences, resources:
– Extended ownership (role of EC, European institutions, governments of
member states, etc.)
– Partnership with „non-territorial” actors
– Strengthening role of MS-s and regions in strengthening territorial
cohesion - legitimate actors
– Encourage own activities of the member states
•
Character:
– Conceptual vs. more tangible ?
– More on HOW to put into practice (principles, mechanisms, defining further
tasks to develop methodologies, etc.)
– More systematic activities to propose
– Follow up, monitoring
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Understanding the
notion of territorial cohesion
• Included in the Lisbon treaty
• New paradigm, replacing convergence oriented approach
of territorial policy in many countries
• Hard to understand, (regional disparities vs. entire
territoriality as such)
• Risk of loosing focus – no common understanding
• Need for clear common territorial priorites
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Levels of understanding
and implementation
• EU
• Member states
• Regions – local authorities
If it is about better territorial state:
Who has more competence to support territorial cohesion?
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Understanding of territorial cohesion
Two sides of the coin
– Horizontal understanding: Territoriality should be taken into
account in every situation
• Territorial capital
• Territorial co-ordination
• Mechanisms
– Understanding the space: Identifying and forming territorial
structures
• Territorial structure of sectors/themes
• Territorial structure of development, potentials of
development – sysnthetic types
• Institutional territorial structures
„Territorial cohesion/planning is not about money”
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Territories
• Quantitative term: Giving priority, more resoruces to
certain territories
Key question: – Who gets support (money), How much?
• Qualitative term: differences of spaces, specific solutions.
– Every place is part of one or more type
– There are no more and less important types of
territories
Key question: How and what to do in a certain spaces!
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
Good progress in horizontal realization of territorial
cohesion
• Creation of territorial knowledge:- ESPON, Cohesion reports, etc.
• Mechanism: Territorial Impact Assesment
• Coordination, dialogues:
– NTCCP,
– TCUM and its WGs
– Green Paper discussion
– COM Interservice group
• Activities of the 1st Action Programme of the TA
• Efforts of presidencies so far (DE, PO, SLO, FR, CZ, SE, ES)
• Instruments: European Terrotorial Cooperation
Notions:
• Territorial capital (TA, Green Paper on TC)
• Place based approach (Barca report)

– northernmost areas
Lisbon
treaty territories
(Article 174):
cross-border areas
.. particular attention shall be paid to rural areas, areas affected by
mountains,
industrial transition, and regions which suffer from severe and
coastalpermanent
zones
natural or demographic handicaps such as:
islands
- northernmost, very low population density
- island
river basins, lakesides,
- cross-borderculturally, tourism or recreation areas)
protected areas (ecologically,
- and mountain regions.
Etc. ..
Unbalanced:
•coastal regions – landlocked regions
•mountain regions – plain regions
•Other handicaps? – e.g. territorrially determined segregation
Salamin – Radvánszki – Ricz: TA Revision
West:
Regional synthesis: Main geographical
regions
- Core: concentration of functions of
global/European importance
North:
-cold climate and post-glacial landscape
- developed transport networks, multimodal
accessibility
- rich in natural resources (water energy, forests,
ores, fishery, etc.), clear environment
- high level of GDP/capita and household
incomes
-knowledge economy, solid human capital,
competitive and innovative
- highly urbanized area; high pop. density,
related environmental problems (urban
sprawl)
- ahead in R&D intensity & information society
- positive population changes (immigrants)
South:
- climate change makes more vulnerable:
growing water scarcity, agriculture, potential
desertification,
- economy suffers from the large share of
low added value activities
- net migration has changed to positive
- weaknesses in labour force qualifications
- low employment rates
-Plenty of space: remote sparsely populated areas
- Climate change brings more precipitation
East:
-capital regions: driving forces but development is
spreading slowly & unequally
-Smaller ecological footprint of the society
- unfavourable demographic changes
- remains handicapped regarding transport and ICT
infrastructure
- delayed suburbanization, a boom of urban sprawl
- several vulnerable rural peripheries in crisis
-Socialist heritage
