Question No 9 by Jim Higgins (H-0977/07)

Subject: Moving beyond GDP

Could the Council indicate how it intends to work with the Commission proposal to move beyond GDP as an indicator of regional cohesion, and could it say whether it has arrived at any definitive measures to be included in the future, to provide a more accurate measure of a region’s performance?

Mrs McGuinness takes responsibility for this question originally asked by Jim Higgins.
