I den forbindelse skal vi også tale om grundlaget. Dette grundlag er f.eks. en fungerende forvaltning, der er en afgørende betingelse for, at en social, miljøpolitisk og især økonomisk udvikling kan gennemføres, og at der er et fornuftigt og afbalanceret interaktivt forhold mellem central magt og regional magt.
At the same time, we must get round to talking about the basics, by which I mean such fundamental elements as a functioning administration, which is the key to the implementation of social, environmental and, above all, economic improvements, as well as to a rational and balanced interactive relationship between central government and the regional authorities.
