    Consolidated version of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union - PART THREE: UNION POLICIES AND INTERNAL ACTIONS - TITLE XVIII: ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND TERRITORIAL COHESION - Article 174 (ex Article 158 TEC)

    Official Journal 115 , 09/05/2008 P. 0127 - 0127


    Article 174

    (ex Article 158 TEC)

    In order to promote its overall harmonious development, the Union shall develop and pursue its actions leading to the strengthening of its economic, social and territorial cohesion.

    In particular, the Union shall aim at reducing disparities between the levels of development of the various regions and the backwardness of the least favoured regions.

    Among the regions concerned, particular attention shall be paid to rural areas, areas affected by industrial transition, and regions which suffer from severe and permanent natural or demographic handicaps such as the northernmost regions with very low population density and island, cross-border and mountain regions.
