The magazine presents a number of initiatives which have been taken in several countries to increase public awareness about the impact of cohesion policy. The Latvia authorities have notably supported radio and TV programmes which explain in an accessible way how people can apply for EU funding.

 

Who are Community funds intended to benefit? How is the public informed about projects financed by the Structural Funds? What measures has the Commission proposed to ensure Europe's citizens are consulted and encouraged to participate? What is the role of the Directorate-General for Regional Policy in this long-term process? These are some of the questions addressed in the magazine.

 

This edition of Panorama "A new transparent European Cohesion Policy" is available in English, French and German and will shortly be online in 19 languages.
