Merging Britain with France, Spain and Portugal

All the planning is going ahead as you may read from this link on the 'Arc Atlantique' BUT have you, or anyone in France, Spain or Portugal for that matter, been asked? An excerpt: In the Third Report on Cohesion, interregional cooperation is henceforth covered by its own Objective. This should replace the current Interreg programmes with a budget two times bigger than the amount allocated for the 2000-2006 period. Concerning the current Interreg IIIB, “the Member States and the regions would be invited to assess the usefulness and effectiveness of the existing 13 transnational cooperation zones… in the light of enlargement.” The Atlantic Arc Commission is therefore directly concerned by whether the Atlantic area is maintained or not, as well as the cooperation themes which its members are keen to continue working on together. A questionnaire will be circulated to Atlantic Arc Commission members in April, with a view to preparing a useful contribution to the General Assembly debates, which should lead to the development of a common position on transnational cooperation.
