Description
Summary:Policy makers at European level have over the last decades discussed and developed policy orientations for the European territory. Policies for regional development are an inherent part of the Lisbon Treaty and other ES documents, with the aim of facilitating economic, social and territorial cohesion. The European Observation Network for Territorial Development and Cohesion (ESPON) supports policy development in relation to the aim of territorial cohesion and a harmonious development of the European territory. It provides comparable information, evidence, analyses and scenarios on framework conditions for the development of regions, cities and larger territories. All 27 EU Member States and Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland are participating and contributing financially to the implementation of the programme, its 5 priorities and actions. National ESPON network growth could support Lithuania’s regional development policy and position in EU.
