EU­initiativerne forudsætter en mere fleksibel og mere tidskrævende forvaltning hos regionerne og deltagerne, eftersom partnerne ofte har behov for at lære hinanden at kende, når det drejer sig om regioner i forskellige lande.
The Community Initiatives require a more flexible approach to management and a more time-consuming approach on the part of the regions and economic operators owing to the fact that the partners frequently need to get to know each other, particularly in the case of regions situated in different countries.
