Portrait of the regions '1992 marks the beginning 'We are not
of a new era, the era of Maastricht, binding States together,
and opens up the new horizons of we are uniting people.'
European union.'
(J. Delors in a speech (J. Monnet)
to the European Parliament)
The approximately 180 regions which — in all their diversity — currently make up the
European Economic Community must learn more about each other if they are to coexist
more fruitfully, work together within a frontier­free area and evolve within a Union
pledged to strengthening economic and social cohesion.
The aim of this Portrait of the regions is to enable each region to learn more about the
economic and social situation of its Community partners. The regions of Europe are
presented one by one, in an identical format, via maps, diagrams, statistical tables and
textual commentaries on their area, regional strengths and weaknesses, population pat­
terns and trends, employment, the economic fabric and the environment.
In this way, systematic coverage is given to all the regions of the Community; from those
which have been part of the Community from its earliest days through to the five German
Länder incorporated as a result of German unification; from major metropolitan regions
such as Île­de­France, Greater London, the autonomous community of Madrid or Attica
through to sparsely populated rural regions such as Epirus, the Alentejo or parts of
Ireland; from the regions at the geographical heart of Europe through to those at its outer­
most edges, such as the Canary Islands, the Azores or the French overseas
departments.
The Portrait of the regions was produced jointly by several Commission departments (the
Directorate­General for Regional Policies, the Translation Service, the Office for Official
Publications of the European Communities and Eurostat) on the one hand, and the
Member States' national statistical institutes, often in conjunction with their regional
departments and departments within other ministries, on the other.
This publication supplements the information on the Community's regions regularly
presented in Eurostat's Statistical yearbook on the regions and in the Commission's
'Periodic report on the social and economic situation and development of the regions
of the Community'. Its drafting and coordination was a mammoth task, for which all in­
volved deserve sincere thanks.
