PROBLEM: Vi bör ha i åtanke att Europeiska unionens totala konkurrenskraft utgör 81 procent av konkurrenskraften i Förenta Staterna, och att denna siffra endast kan förbättras om den gör det i våra konkurrensdugliga enheter, det vill säga i regionerna, och detta i en tid då den tekniska utvecklingen, internationaliseringen av ekonomin och de problem vi har, utvidgningen och den gemensamma valutan kräver en ökad konkurrenskraft av regionerna, men även av företagen och av den enskilde.

SOLUTION: It must be remembered that, currently, the European Union' s overall competitiveness is, in general terms, 81% of that of the United States of America and that this figure will only improve if the figure for our competitive units, that is the regions, also improves. Furthermore, this is at a time when technological development, economic globalisation and our problems, which are enlargement and the single currency, demand that the regions, as well as businesses and individuals, make more of an effort to be competitive.
