Above-average GDP increases can be expected for the regions in the new member states which will accelerate the catching up-process.
Konferenz "Via Regia Kulturstraße des Europarates - Brückenschlag für europäische Entwicklungen", 16.05.2008, Liebertwolkwitz 6 Re-positioning of European Regions after EU enlargement
EU enlargement • Regions with additional 75 Mio. inhabitants have joined the EU • Large distances to the core are („blue banana“)
• Coping with regional disparities
• High economic growth rates in the new meber states
• High costs for the extension of the infrastructure east-west
ESDP (European Spatial Development Programme) The creation and strengthening of several dynamic areas of integration in the world economy is an important instrument for the acceleration of the economic development in Europe.
Development of a second core area of economic growth after EU enlargement
• 60 Mio. inhabitants • 8 European capitals • Well educated workforce • Re-orientation of the flows of traffic

Konferenz "Via Regia Kulturstraße des Europarates - Brückenschlag für europäische Entwicklungen", 16.05.2008, Liebertwolkwitz 22 Accessibility: Improving connections between node cities and in border regions
Creation of integrated sustainable transport system, consisting of - Continous motorway connection - Fast, frequent and comfortable rail connections 160 km/h until 2015, high speed > 250 km/h until 2030 - Efficient rail freight transport in high quality between node cities and to seaports - Adequate complementary flight connections Use of potentials of transcontinental freight transport (connections to emerging Asian markets)

Konferenz "Via Regia Kulturstraße des Europarates - Brückenschlag für europäische Entwicklungen", 16.05.2008, Liebertwolkwitz 27 The Connection Berlin-Breslau via Cottbus, Horka (connection bend) is the most reasonable and practicable solution in a medium term!
With a double track solution at 160 km/h a reduction of the travelling time Breslau – Berlin to app. 3 h and to BBI Airport to app. 2 ¾ Stunden possible !

Konferenz "Via Regia Kulturstraße des Europarates - Brückenschlag für europäische Entwicklungen", 16.05.2008, Liebertwolkwitz 41 WhyWhy transnationaltransnational coco--operation?operation? Because many problems – e. g. in water management – can‘t be solved on a national level An economic and living space in Europe is just strong through co-operation not backyard politics or parish-pump thinking Because learning from other mistakes is better than making mistakes Broadens one‘s horizon and is fun (most of the time)
WhyWhy isis INTERREGINTERREG good?good? The funding period is lasting quite a while with fixed funding rates and amounts The funding fosters different aspects of a project, e. g. studies, planning, pilot actions, staff, publicity… The learning effect in the running process is much bigger through transnational exchange than being „on the q. t.“ or sitting in your office The recquirement of a publicity strategy trains and compels Germans to break new ground The european framework generates a bigger publicity potenccy for local or regional projects – and therefore it lifts the importance of the projects int the public perception Konferenz "Via Regia Kulturstraße des Europarates - Brückenschlag für europäische Entwicklungen", 16.05.2008, Liebertwolkwitz 42 EUREGIA in Leipzig from 27th –29th October 2008
