Political Conference St. Pölten 2005 – “We grow together. Together we grow.”
The St. Pölten Memorandum of April 2005 constituted the first joint statement of the CENTROPE partners regarding sector-driven thematic areas and challenges in the common region. It confirmed the intention of the CENTROPE partners to build a European Region and contains agreements to
- provide mutual support in consultations at the EU level and in lobbying activities to promote jointly formulated positions,
- develop joint proposals for the sustainable, socially viable functioning of the cross-border labour market,
- activate national governments and the EU on behalf of strategies and measures relating to CENTROPE,
- intensify cooperation between existing institutions so as to integrate the manifold cooperative activities in the region, and
- initiate a broad public-relations push to communicate the opportunities and advantages inherent in cross-border cooperation to the population at large.
Downloads of the Memorandum in the original languages are available on the Czech, German, Hungarian and Slovak mirror pages.
