The Congress, which will take place on 25-26 June in A Coruña, gathers for the first time all European borders in order to make their voices heard at a critical moment
The "Congress of Europe's borders: smart cooperation", to be held on 25 and 26 June in A Coruña will be the first European Congress of borders and peripheral territories. This event takes place at a time the rules of game both political and financial for the next period of 2014-2020 programming are being discussed; discussion that occurs at a particularly difficult time for the process of European construction.
The context of the current crisis is causing that the construction of social and citizens Europe that was promoted by Jacques Delors is being replaced by the Europe of bailouts, markets and cuts. So the border and peripheral territories have their future at stake and thus they doubt between pushing a way out of the crisis, which recovers the spirit of European construction, or submitting to purely economic decisions that will not take into account the particularities inherent to their geography.
In less than six months now, from 18 to 21 June 2012, the flagship event for port cities of the whole world will open: the 13th World Conference of Cities and Ports: www.citiesandports2012.com
