Catalonia is, and wants to continue being, a powerful region of Europe and one of its driving forces. Catalonia can contribute to the common European heritage its economic prosperity, its capacity for innovation, its social cohesion, and its cultural and linguistic identity. At the same time, Catalonia wants to learn and exchange ideas, models, proposals, and projects with the rest of the European regions and nationalities.”
