Når dette er sagt, vil jeg fremhæve to aspekter: dels at samhørighedsgraden ikke alene skal måles mellem lande, men også mellem regioner; dels at styrkelsen af samhørigheden ikke må opfattes som værende den enkelte medlemsstats eller Den Europæiske Unions ansvar, men som et fælles ansvar.
At this point, I should like to distinguish between two aspects: first of all, that the level of cohesion cannot be measured only between countries but also between regions; secondly, that reinforcing this cohesion cannot be seen only as the co-responsibility of each Member State or only the responsibility of the European Union, but it has to be seen as shared responsibility by both.
