No cohesion without representation!
Last week, during the #EuRegionsWeek, the #CohesionAlliance called on the European Parliament and Member States to revise the proposed Cohesion Policy as laid down in the #MFF proposal by the European Commission.
🌍 Regions & cities are key to delivering EU policies!
At the #EURegionsWeek, CEMR stood up to defend #cohesionpolicy on the next #MFF
Co-president Christoph Schnaudigel: "Competitiveness and cohesion are two sides of the same coin"

📣 SAVE COHESION POLICY 📣
Today, alongside the #CohesionAlliance, we gathered in front of @europarl.europa.eu to send a clear message to EU institutions:
The proposed reform of the #CohesionPolicy in the next #EUBudget is inadequate — and we will continue working until it is rectified
🌍 During the #EWRC2025, CEMR and its partners are organising a series of events to put local and regional governments at the heart of Europe’s future.
Join us in to exchange ideas and strengthen cooperation across Europe’s regions and cities.

The main things to check tomorrow in the #MFF package:
1️⃣What will be the role of #localgov in defining their own investment and reforms priorities?
2️⃣How will #PartnershipPrinciple be implemented?
3️⃣Can the objectives of economic, social and territorial #Cohesion be truly met ?

Important statement from EVP Fitto on future #CohesionPolicy, in line with CoR's requests:
🗣️ we need to preserve the principles of partnership, shared management and multilevel governance. Ensuring the direct and active involvement of local and regional authorities
