!!!Regionalpolitik

Regional Policy, implementation of measures of regional planning and 
development by the appropriate political bodies and authorities, often 
in cooperation with neighbouring administrative authorities. Regional 
policy can either apply to a group of municipalities (water supply, 
disposal, recreation areas, schools etc) or to several provinces 
(public transport communities, economic areas, medical care, 
universities, nature reserves etc.). Major regional policy areas are 
the eastern region (Vienna, major part of Lower Austria, northern 
Burgenland), the regions around Graz, Innsbruck, Carinthia and East 
Tirol, Linz (including the major part of Upper Austria and the western 
areas of Lower Austria), Salzburg with parts of Upper Austria and the 
region around Lake Constance (extending beyond the Austrian border). 
All necessary measures, which generally require continuous financial 
contributions, are laid down in agreements and accords between the 
municipalities or provinces concerned.
