For reasons of quality, each time new planting takes place, the density and distance are adjusted according to the method of training (minimum density of 3 300 vines/ha and maximum distance of 3 metres between rows for the single trellis system, minimum density of 2 500 vines/ha and maximum distance of 3,5 metres between rows for the double trellis system).

The ERDF therefore contributes to reducing the gap between the levels of development of the various regions and the extent to which the least favoured regions, including rural and urban areas, declining industrial regions, areas with a geographical or natural handicap, such as islands, mountainous areas, sparsely populated areas and border regions, are lagging behind.

Again, the need for this differs between regions, reflecting the variation in the scale of expenditure on RD , the presence of research centres and the extent of linkages between these and local business (RD expenditure, for example, varies from 1 of GDP in Slovenia, and almost 4% in Stredni Cechy, the region surrounding Prague, to under of GDP in Latvia, Bulgaria and Romania and only around 0.2% or less in a number of regions in Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria.)

The relative air density when the motorcycle is tested, calculated in accordance with the formula below, shall not differ by more than 7,5 % from the air density under the standard conditions.

11. Recognises that the tendency towards nominal convergence at national level is not yet accompanied by real convergence at regional level in all sectors; points out that differences increasingly obtain between the regions and that the differences between the poorest and richest regions are still very pronounced; notes with concern that the rise in unemployment has affected the regions to widely differing degrees; stresses the disturbing fact that unemployment in the 25 regions most affected stands at an average of 23.7%, while in the 25 least affected it is only 4%; notes the existence of a correlation between unemployment and low income per capita levels, and that unemployment should no longer be considered linked to restructuring pr ...[+++]ocesses in the industrialised countries; calls for greater account to be taken of conditions in individual regions, including long distances, low population density and harsh climate, and, especially, the causes of unemployment; calls for the dimension of territorial cohesion in its national, interregional and crossborder aspects to be included in future in the triennial reports on economic and social cohesion;

Mr. Christle: There are a lot of differences in highway infrastructure or highway design across Canada, whether it is related to traffic volumes, demographics, speed differences or weight differences.
