Danuta Hübner, European Commissioner for Regional Policy, presented the findings of the new report 'Regions 2020' at a press conference held on December 9th, 2008 in Brussels.

" 'Regions 2020', produced by the European Commission's Directorate General for Regional Policy, provides a first prospective analysis of the likely regional impact of four of the biggest challenges facing Europe: globalisation, demographic change, climate change, and the energy supply.
