At the European level, the term territorial cohesion is becoming more widely used and is for example mentioned in the draft EU Treaty (Constitution) as a shared competency of the European Union; it is also included in the Treaty of Lisbon.
Termin teritorijalna kohezija sve se više koristi na europskoj razini, te se primjerice spominje u nacrtu Ugovora o EU (Ustav) kao zajednička sposobnost Europske unije; a također je uključen u Lisabonski ugovor.
