<p align="justify"><i>Recommendation 1</i> on topical issues concerning local and regional authorities, particularly paragraph 17;</p>

<p align="justify"><i>Recommendation 4</i> on partnerships between towns and municipalities - an efficient instrument for co-operation in the larger Europe, particularly paragraphs V.1 and V.2;</p>

<p align="justify"><i>Recommendation 5</i> on Europe and its elderly people: towards a pact between generations, particularly paragraph VII;</p>

<p align="justify"><i>Recommendation 6</i> on the Conference on regionalisation in Europe: evaluation and perspectives, particularly paragraph VI.3;</p>

<p align="justify"><i>Recommendation 7</i> on regional/spatial planning prospects in the new Europe, particularly paragraphs V.a, V.b, V.c and V.d.</p>

<p align="justify">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Moreover, I would draw the Assembly's attention to<a href="/ASP/Doc/RefRedirectEN.asp?Doc= Recommendations 2"> Recommendations 2</a> and 3 as well as to<a href="/ASP/Doc/RefRedirectEN.asp?Doc= Resolutions 1"> Resolutions 1</a> to 9.</p>
