Abstract
We have seen earlier in the text that the interregional pattern of activity within the EC economies is spatially uneven. This unevenness is reflected in differences between the levels of income and output of different regions. Within England there are wide variations among regions in levels of income: the South East is one of the richest regions in the EC, while Merseyside in the North West is among the poorest localities in the EC.
