For the East-European countries, integration into the European Union represented a chance to an accelerated development, through access to European funds and cooperation instruments that are only available to EU Member States.
The reduction of economic gaps compared to Western Europe has been spectacular, with a positive effect not only for each Member State, but also for the entire geographical region. Even countries that are currently candidates for EU membership have benefited from the effect of EU accession of their neighbour countries, the example of the latter being a strong motivation for implementing reforms and finalising accession negotiations. European cooperation and solidarity were once again highlighted by the reaction of the Member States to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In order to help recover the economic and social damage caused by the pandemic, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the EU leaders have agreed on a Recovery Plan that will ensure a way out of the crisis and will pave the way for a greener, more digital and more resilient Europe. This is the largest EU-funded incentive package in history, with a total value of EUR 1.8 billion.
The participants to the “2021 Bucharest Summit: Cooperation for Development” will look for answers to the following questions:
- How does Romania want to invest the EUR 30 billion under the Recovery Plan?
- What are the plans of the other EU Member States in the region?
- What are the priority infrastructure projects for Eastern Europe?
- What measures are being considered to ensure the energy security of Southeast Europe?
- What role can digitalisation play in bridging the gap between Western and Eastern Europe?
The event will take place according to the following schedule:
All speeches delivered during the summit will be published, in English, in a catalogue that will be issued by MediaUno Press Group in June 2021.
