PROBLEM: La inserción de la frontera marítima en el apartado A permitiría por fin reconocer en la periferia occidental una zona económica única e importante frente a la "continentalización" de la unión Europea.

SOLUTION: The integration of the maritime border into strand A would finally allow the western periphery to be recognised as a unique and important economic area which is confronted by the 'continentalisation' of the European Union.

PROBLEM: No sólo son estas resoluciones contrarias al Tratado y otorgan a los órganos comunitarios más poder del que les corresponde, sino que lo peor es que tendrán un efecto contraproducente.

SOLUTION: Not only do these decisions conflict with the Treaty and apportion to the institutions of the Union more power than that to which they are entitled but, worst of all, their effect will be counter-productive.

PROBLEM: Me declaro satisfecho por la continuación de la iniciativa, porque, como he dicho, da mayor relieve a las estrategias de desarrollo innovadoras y porque es más ambiciosa, aunque se mantiene la necesidad de flexibilizar los criterios de definición de los territorios en cuestión para no perjudicar ni a las zonas rurales con gran densidad de población ni a las de baja densidad.

SOLUTION:
I therefore approve of the continuation of the initiative because, as I was saying, it emphasises the innovative development strategies and because it is more ambitious, even though there is still the need to make the criteria by which areas qualify as rural more flexible so as not to penalise rural areas with high or low population densities.
