"In this period of crisis, it is especially important to raise awareness of the need to boost our Cohesion Policy investments in environmental projects."rnRegional Policy Commissioner Danuta Huebner summoned the press, on 9 March in Brussels, to put out that message.rnShe restated some of the ideas of a speech given three days earlier in Prague, at the Summit of Regions and Cities of Europe, where she explained that "with the crisis, investments inrncurbing climate change may seem less urgent. But that is false".rnThe commissioner continued: "The environment is at the heart of the Cohesion Policy for growth, jobs and competitiveness."
