Key question for all European regions concerning the newest EC’s initiative of the Eastern Partnership is apparently its regional dimesion. Will there be enough room for enhanced co-operation with eastern neighbours of the EU? This was also a key issue of the morning seminar held in Wielkopolska Region’ s Brussels Office in close co-operation with the Assembly of the European Regions.
Our guest, Mr. Robert Soltyk representing DG RELEX of the European Commission, reported that experience made by European regions in the field of cohesion policy would be a vital lesson for supporting economic and social development in Eastern partner countries.

Dear Partner Regions, Dear Friends!
These Open Days 2009 will be the fifth ones for Wielkopolska Region (Poland) . We would like to invite all regions equally interested in organising a successful event on:
“Achieving results, looking ahead: EU cohesion policy’s evaluation and future prospects”
to express
your interest for co-operation.
It seems that this will not be the most popular topic among the regions but we perecive it as its strenght rather than weakness. This should be a perfect opportunity to share our regional success and best practises in the field of cohesion policy with the whole Europe.
Since there are no threats and apparently the fast SWOT analysis is looking fine enough, maybe you will feel encouraged to respond our invitation to:
Contact mailbox of Wielkopolska Region for Open Days 2009: anna.wasowicz@wielkopolska.eu
We are looking forward to your messages!

It is one of the actions performed within a project implemented by Wielkopolska Region for Georgia, co-financed by the Polish Aid Programme 2008. The conference was opened among others by Mamuka Akhvlediani - Vice-Mayor of Tibilisi and Vano Khukhunaishvili - Chair of the Regional Policy Self-Government and Mountainous Regions Committee of the Parliament of Georgia. In their speeches they emphasized the meaning of „REGIO-TAMAR” project and expressed their gratitude for the valuable help given by the polish partner. As they mentioned, successful obtaining European funds during the previous programming period 2004-2006 and the experience gained by Poland at the European arena after accession to the EU, are for Georgians a source of valuable knowledge that should be used the best way possible.
