projects for developing less developed regions

Digital mapping technology is having the most profound impact on the world s most remote and undeveloped regions.

This would instantly augment growth in less developed regions and boost overall productivity.

The initiative will offer Community support for training and higher qualifications for women particularly in the less developed areas.

But the programmes are too narrow when they are intended for specified groups only.

Furthermore, the growth rate in China s less developed eastern regions amounts to less than half of the national average.

As is mentioned in the Commission's proposal, the socioeconomic state of certain people has significantly worsened vis à vis the average population. These are

This implies that closing the persistent digital divide between the world s developed and developing regions could give a big boost to development.

Finally, particular care should be devoted to the organisation and ranking of the European qualification systems proposed most appropriately by the Commission and improved by Mr Samland.

What is remarkable by its absence in this programme is a preventive health policy.

As today, support would be differentiated between regions based on their level of economic development (measured by GDP per capita), drawing a clear distinction between less and more developed regions.

The economies of our developed world are seriously affected.

If convergence across regions in terms of income and productivity levels is incomplete , structural inflation differentials may arise between regions to allow price ( and income ) levels in the less developed areas to catch up with those in the more mature economies within the union .

The weakest of the big three developed economies the eurozone has thus been left with the strongest currency.

And there is a real fear that a remote and unaccountable central bank may not only fail to answer, but may not ever accept, the legitimacy of the question.

It remains to be seen whether the impact on the less developed Member States will be more severe than elsewhere.

In the framework of these actions it is also necessary to provide for exchanges of experience at the Community level to transfer know how and good techniques to objective 1 regions which are less advanced than the other regions of the Community.

Ayrshire is one of the most agriculturally fertile regions of Scotland.

That is also true for areas with weaker structures.

Associations of private enterprises are still on the small side and there is little evidence of sectoral working structures.

I therefore call on the Commission once again to stand by the Parliament.

The European Regional Development Fund is intended to help to redress the main regional imbalances in the Union through participation in the development and structural adjustment of regions whose development is lagging behind and in the conversion of declining industrial regions.

Already there has been support for many of our proposals from the Belgian, Dutch and Greek Governments in particular and, from the Italian Parliament which has endorsed our proposals. How ever, I would like to dwell today on the Commission's position which has just recently been revealed in its formal opinion to the intergovernmental conference.

A superpower not only wishes to defend its territory, it also wants to secure its interests internationally.

To be sure, all of the large, developed economies are growing more slowly than they did when their economic engines were roaring.

I might add that, at a more fundamental level still, it is the relationship of dependence in which these countries stand towards the developed economies that is at issue.

Collectively, the annual growth rate in the major developed economies averaged a little less than 0.7 in the first half of 2014.

Today, the European Union is one of the world s richest economic regions.

The Member States take note of the fact that the Spanish Government has embarked upon the implementation of a policy of regional development designed in particular to stimulate economic growth in the less developed regions and areas of Spain.

With reference to the research carried out in Community programmes, I wish to mention in par ticular the PAGIS programme, carried out between 1982 and 1989, and devoted specifically to the study of the safety of storing underground highly active waste in a variety of mediums such as salt, granite and clay as well as on the seabed.

PRESIDENT statement made by the President in Office of the European Council, which I believe is sufficiently important in its own right.

The Committee on Women's Rights asked that it be allowed to present the third programme, not because we wanted to be in the limelight, nor because we felt we just had to, but because we want to use this report to show what the situation is concerning the employment of women.

Catalonia, in the northeast of Spain, is one of the country's most prosperous regions.

It is most common in temperate regions of the world, twenty two species are found in North America.

It is increasingly common in all border regions in the European Community.

But we have to reach agreement on the idea of joint decision making.

These aspects are of particular help to the weaker regions of the Community. munity.

PEREIRA (LDR). (PT) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I think there is a very obvious need to create a concerted Community regional planning policy favouring the channelling of a part of investment to the less developed regions of the EEC.

A hundred years ago it was one of the world s most peaceful regions today it is the most violent.

Only about 15 of the world s population lives in developed economies.

Its purpose is to accommodate the large muscles moving the well developed mandibles.

Equatorial regions The Lunar equatorial regions are likely to have higher concentrations of helium 3 (rare on Earth but much sought after for use in nuclear fusion research) because the solar wind has a higher angle of incidence.

This is as true in developed as it is in developing economies.
