In
the
long
term
,
one
____________________
of
the
EU
is
the
____________________
,
social
and
infrastructural
alignment
of
all
regions
,
thus
improving
the
lives
of
all
Europeans
.
The
economic
prosperity
is
measured
by
the
GDP
.
However
,
it
is
not
very
meaningful
,
because
it
only
considers
Member
States
as
a
whole
.
For
an
effective
structural
policy
,
it
is
important
that
calculations
concerning
to
the
economic
strength
of
Europe
are
regarded
as
a
sum
of
calculations
of
the
economic
strength
of
many
regions
.
Instead
of
focusing
the
____________________
of
the
States
,
more
detailed
geographical
areas
are
considered
.
Therefore
,
the
EU
countries
have
to
publish
the
data
for
their
own
____________________
,
which
must
be
collected
in
the
same
manner
.
By
harmonizing
the
____________________
____________________
,
the
data
and
,
thus
,
the
regions
are
compareable
.
The
result
is
the
regional
GDP
of
all
regions
.
Measures
of
____________________
____________________
,
which
are
also
promoted
and
supported
,
are
recommended
to
regions
of
different
economic
strength
.
On
the
basis
of
regional
data
,
EU
leaders
and
regional
managers
can
practice
an
efficient
regional
policy
in
close

.
For
this
purpose
,
the
EU
provides
various
Structural
Funds
.
And
the
results
speak
for
themselves

They
include
