Territorial assets

• 1- Trans European Networks implemented at a large
  European scale
• 2- Central Eastern Europe benefit from Western
  subsidies and FDI
• 3- The Regional Policy focuses on central and
  eastern European countries less developed areas

Shortcomings

• 1- Negative impact on EU peripheral territories
  (Eastward, e.g. Baltic States are no more the
  interface between Russia and UE and Southward)
• 2- Eastern markets not sufficient per se for
  Western investors
• 3- Europe as an isolated and ageing island in the
  world
