“Defence is not only about armies. It is also civil protection, preparedness, and strong local institutions.
Cities and regions in Ukraine prove that local resilience is national security.”

Europe is already in water stress.
Arianna Censi highlights that cities and regions are on the frontline and must have the tools to act.
From sponge cities to clean water for all, she calls for EU support that matches the scale of the crisis.

"There cannot be an EU procurement reform without listening to cities and regions, Europe’s main public buyers.
After years of overlapping rules, Europe now has a chance to simplify procurement so every euro spent delivers high-quality results for citizens."
Roberto Gualtieri
#CoRplenary
Peter Kaiser reminds us that public procurement shapes everyday services: from childcare to care homes to local transport.
He supports stronger protection for workers and clear rules on subcontracting so public money never rewards social dumping.
#CoRplenary
For Nadia Pellefigue, public procurement is a lever for Europe’s green and industrial transition.
She backs rules that let regions invest in innovation, skills and clean industries, by looking at quality, social and climate impact, not only lowest price.

Together we can turn “much more than a budget” into "much more for people and places".

“Let’s be honest: the real battle on the EU’s long‑term budget is with national governments.”
Pascal Smet urges local and regional leaders to mobilise their parties back home to stop cuts to cohesion, CAP and social investment.
No more doing more with less.
#CoRplenary
Vasco Cordeiro warns that promises aren’t enough: governance must be guaranteed in the EU’s long‑term budget.
Regions need a real seat at the table: strong partnership rules, shared management and a clear role in national plans.
Good governance is not optional.
#CoRplenary
Europe’s competitiveness starts in its territories.
María Victoria Chivite Navascués calls for a long‑term budget that supports innovation, skills and industrial transition in our regions.
Cohesion and competitiveness go together, or we lose both. #CoRplenary
"If we cut cohesion, we cut the future of our regions.”
Luca Menesini warns that the Commission’s proposal is too weak. He brings a clear message: we need an ambitious EU budget that protects cohesion, public services and the green transition, not new austerity.
#CoRplenary
"Much more than a budget”.
Today’s debate on the EU’s long‑term budget is about whether Europe will keep investing in cohesion, public services and climate action or accept a race to the bottom.
Our PES leaders are clear: Europe cannot do more with less.

"Die Demokratie beginnt vor Ort, und dort müssen wir Sie auch verteidigen – diesen Gedanken von Bundespräsident Steinmeier muss auch die EU aufnehmen. Deswegen werbe ich beim Ausschuss der Regionen #CoRplenary für Maßnahmen gegen Hass und Gewalt, um bedrohte Kommunalpolitiker besser zu schützen. Sie brauchen zentrale Anlaufstellen wie "Stark im Amt". Nur so werden sich engagierte Menschen in die Kommunalpolitik einbringen und sich für die Demokratie einbringen. Das ist gerade vor der Europawahl wichtig." – Oberbürgermeister Uwe Conradt Vertreter des Deutschen Städtetages beim EU-Ausschuss der Regionen
