Vi har noget tilsvarende i øjeblikket i de europæiske fællesskabsinitiativer, f.eks. Leader-programmet og Urban-programmet, hvor denne bottom-up-metode har været vellykket og løst nogle af de problemer, vi har stået over for.
By analogy we already have at the moment within the European Community initiatives like the Leader programme and the Urban programme where this bottom-up approach has been proven to be successful, and has resolved some of the problems that have been faced.
