The development of regional policies and the strong integration commitment of the European Union have led to the launching of several regional and local programmes and projects. Nevertheless, the recent en- largement of the European Community space and the further future enlargement process that will include new member States have further pointed out different levels of development between the various European regions. Based on this awareness, a serious debate has been launched about the best tools to be developed by the European Union over the next few years to support this integration process.

Concepts like “co-operation”, “exchange of experiences”, “network”, “transfer of knowledge” are now becoming increasingly more meaningful and serving as reference for specifi c Community initiatives and for a renewed regional policy.

As far as co-operation is concerned, the INTERREG III Community initiative, launched in the 2000-2006 period, has been one of the best opportunities offered to the European regions to establish relations with regional and local partners in other European countries and to implement the integrated regional development principle through joint actions. This has also led to a strengthening of regional development networks.

The analyses that have been carried out on the results deriving from the implementation of co-operation programmes have highlighted an outstanding co-operation “architecture”, in which public, regional and local authorities of the various member states have established close relationships, shared knowledge, resources and working methods. This is a strong dialogue tool that brings together the different administrative cultures and the different ways of interpreting and implementing public policies and of involving citizens into the public life.

The Emilia-Romagna Region and its local authorities have given their substantial contribution to the implemen- tation of the INTERREG III Community initiative. Several projects have been launched by the Emilia-Romagna Region, thus making it one of the most active European Regions.

The experience has been very positive. We intend to further support and strengthen it in the framework of

the following co-operation programmes that will be launched in 2007. The Regional Government has already 5 committed itself and it has included the need to further strengthen the relationships between the Emilia- Romagna Region and the other European Regions as well as the already existing co-operation networks in its own programming documents.

This publication provides a comprehensive overview of the several projects that have been designed within the framework of the Interreg programmes and that have involved a large number of institutional and social- PREFACE economic partners throughout the whole territory of the Emilia-Romagna Region. I really wish that it may serve as a tool to further enhance this vast experience as well as a working and infor- mation tool for all those who, in different ways, are involved in the development of this kind of initiatives.
