  10. General Statements • The new policy to promote only Development Partnerships seems to be more effective – in national and trans-national cooperation • DP’s following the top-down approach are more in line with Government policy • DP’s following the bottom-up approach can within the defined working area operate independently – partly in opposition to Government policy • Through both types of collaboration integrated programmes for asylum seekers can be created • Continuing collaboration is only possible by funding of EQUAL and/or Government

  11. Political Conclusions • Acceptance of the thematic field Asylum Seekers will only be possible when policy makers on local, regional, national and European level do co-operate in Development Partnerships, with non-governmental organisations • Without structural support from the local, regional, national and European level, DP’s cannot perform effectively • Trans-national co-operation should feed policy makers from the EU, in order to implement trans-national results in European policy
