Key points

The resolution emphasizes that the freedom of movement and territorial cohesion are fundamental to the EU's stability.
There is a significant gap in quality of life, services, and connectivity between major metropolitan hubs and peripheral or rural areas.
The 'brain drain' effect is causing a loss of highly skilled workers from eastern, southern, and central European regions to the north-west.
EU cohesion funds should be used to improve digital infrastructure (broadband) and transport links in low-density areas to encourage remote work and business investment.
