Abstract

Integration with the EU or other areas like the Danube region is likely to benefit the CENTROPE regions in a differentiated way. This report will analyse the extent of spatial integration, the future potential for it, as well as strengths, weaknesses and likely points of conflicts in the integration process of the CENTROPE focusing on both integration among the regions of CENTROPE as well as on integration of the CENTROPE within the EU 27 and other areas (such as the Danube region). To this end the report will deal with the following issues: the general economic development in the CENTROPE regions, by type of regions; regional FDI in the CENTROPE and enterprise cooperation within the CENTROPE; regional trading patterns; labour mobility in the CENTROPE.
