Qualitative Info

There is no formal definition of social/community cohesion. In the preamble to the National Cohesion Strategy 2007-2013, it is stated that cohesion policy is one of the main European Union policies. It aims to promote harmonious development of the whole territory of the 25 EU Member States through actions leading to the reduction of disparities in region development and thus, strengthening the economic, social and territorial cohesion of the Community. The National Strategy for Social Inclusion 2004-2010 contained a definition of social cohesion.
