Editor's Notes
Evaluations reports published in April 2010 give a clear indication of the achievements of the policy. Capturing the impact and results of cohesion policy is critical to its ongoing success. Letting the public know what is achieved with the investment from the policy is key to its transparency and accountability. It also offers the opportunity to learn from good practice elsewhere, and to continuously improve projects and programmes. The task of safeguarding and developing competitiveness as a constant necessity in successful economies - no region in Europe can assume prosperity forever. It is important for regions to diversify their economic activities in order to sustain their success – regional policy strategic programming support this.
