La convergence et la compétitivité sont essentielles pour le prochain mandat de la CE. La convergence par le biais de la politique de cohésion se développe constamment. L'Europe doit devenir très compétitive par rapport à ses homologues et la politique de cohésion peut y contribuer. La société civile peut jouer un rôle de catalyseur dans ce double défi. Les chambres de commerce, les PME, les entreprises, les universités, les syndicats et les ONG doivent faire la transition et devenir plus compétitifs, efficaces et productifs. Elles contribueront à l'économie européenne et à l'élimination des disparités économiques et sociales.
