2 EUROPEAN COMMISSION Regional Policy Situation and trends: regional disparities In 2004, the top regions (with 10% of the EU population) had a GDP per head that was almost 5 times higher than that in the bottom regions (with 10% of the EU population), while in 2000 it was 6 times higher

3 EUROPEAN COMMISSION Regional Policy Situation and trends: regional growth Over the period , growth of productivity has been high in the regions of the new Member States. Yet, in 29 regions (notably in France, Italy and Spain) productivity has decreased.

6 EUROPEAN COMMISSION Regional Policy Challenge 1: demography 85 regions (mainly in the new Member States) are already experiencing absolute population decline, and another 76 regions maintain population growth only thanks to migration

14 EUROPEAN COMMISSION Regional Policy Cohesion policy contributes to the growth of GDP Preliminary estimates for the period ( for the new Member States) suggest an increase in GDP compared to a baseline scenario without cohesion policy by: Around 9.0% in the Czech Republic Latvia Around 8.5% in Lithuania, and Estonia Around 7.5% in Romania Around 6.0% in Bulgaria and Slovakia Around 5.5% in Poland Around 3.5% in Greece and 3.1% in Portugal
