  • Integrierte/zusammenfassende Aussage

"In the manufacturing focus, the Nordic countries, the UK, and some industrial regions of the Eastern European New Member States are among the most vulnerable. Additionally, traditionally industrialized regions in other member states, such as Ireland, Northern Italy, central Austria or Southern Germany are concerned. The least vulnerable regions across the Union are more rural regions, where agriculture and tourism are important. However, at the time of writing the manufacturing sectors in most countries affected are on the rise again. When demand on the world market started to increase again, these regions were amongst the first to recover. Only regions where the industrial mix is in more need of structural reforms, continue to struggle." (p. 1)
