Book excerpt: Local and regional authorities, represented in the EU by the European Committee of the Regions, have always been the backbone of European democracy. The recent COVID-19 pandemic showed local and regional leaders as the driving force of local communities, responding during the emergency and leading the EU's recovery. Bringing Europe closer to people through its villages, cities and regions will therefore be the primary mission of our Committee achieved through three main priorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Committee of the Regions brings together political representatives from the levels of government closest to citizens of the European Union: regional, municipal and local councils. This proximity to local experience gives it a unique position on the EU's landscape, and the Committee's political programme for 2015-20 shows its closeness to the concerns of ordinary people. These priorities were agreed unanimously in the June 2015 Plenary for the first time for the entire five year mandate. The Committee's top priority is to kick-start Europe's economy. To achieve its goal of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, the EU needs to involve local and regional authorities more deeply. Smart investment should be based on local needs, draw on best practice at the grassroots level and encourage a new entrepreneurial spirit across Europe. The EU's efforts to boost growth should consider the opportunities offered by new digital technologies.^The second priority is to ensure that growth is broadly based across Europe. The Committee will help to narrow the knowledge gap between regions and cities as a means of reducing the urban/rural divide. It will assess what impact EU legislation has on the ground, including the impact on cities. It will encourage cross-border cooperation, through the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC). Cohesion policy is the one of the main tools that the EU has, and effective use of that policy is a central concern of the Committee. Developing trust of the EU at the local level is the third priority of the European Committee of the Regions. It will promote the role of local government in European policymaking, it will help the EU make the business environment friendlier, and it will explain the benefits of the Union at the local level.^Local governments in the EU can help stabilise countries in the EU's neighbourhood: this is the fourth priority of the European Committee of the Regions. It will help develop economic and political ties with the six post-Soviet states in the EU's Eastern Partnership. It will explore what can be done at the local level to promote cooperation with countries around the Mediterranean, and it will help would-be members of the EU to prepare for membership. What is the role of the EU citizen in all of this? The fifth priority of the European Committee of the Regions is to strengthen the EU's relationship with its citizens. A fuller, richer dialogue is needed between the EU's institutions, its citizens and local and regional authorities. The European Committee of the Regions will demonstrate how the EU can improve the lives of individuals and their communities.^Economic growth, a strong local economy, a stronger local voice in policymaking, a more stable international and regional environment, and a fuller voice in EU affairs: these are concerns that the average EU citizen has and that the European Committee of the Regions will pursue to achieve.

Book excerpt: The European Committee of the Regions (the CoR) is a Political Assembly composed of 658 elected representatives of Local and Regional Authorities (LRAs) (329 Members and 329 Alternates), representing one million EU politicians elected at local and regional level. The Committee contributes to the EU policy shaping and decision-making process from the viewpoint of the LRAs. At the same time, the Committee's Members contribute to make the Union more effective and closer to the citizens by implementing EU law and communicating on the Union's policies on the ground. LRA are responsible for one third of public spending and two thirds of public investment hold competencies in key areas such as education, economic development and cohesion, environment, social protection, health and services of general interest in many Member States. Furthermore, the LRAs are also implementing about 70% of European legislation and programmes. Cooperation between the local, regional, national and European levels is the best response to common challenges. A European Union that takes into account local and regional needs and concerns, increases the legitimacy of its legislation, improves ownership and achieves greater added-value and effectiveness on the ground for the benefit of citizens. To this end, the CoR works closely with the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, as well as with the various tiers of government in the Member States. The present CoR Annual Operational Working Plan for 2023 is marked by the implementation of the political priorities that were adopted by the CoR for its 2020-2025 term of office. These priorities are streamlined into the work of all the CoR's bodies and guide its outreach and communication activities.

Book excerpt: The European Union is not only a union of nation states, but also a union of regions and cities. The European Committee of the Regions (CoR) is the only European institution through which regional and local politicians participate in European decision-making processes. Its task is to assess in concrete terms how European Union legislative projects will affect citizens in the regions and cities. The members of the CoR are committed to ensuring that the concerns, needs and challenges of the regions and cities and thus of the citizens on the ground are heard in Brussels. The 24 full and 24 alternate members of the German delegation to the CoR are representatives of the Länder and local authorities, legitimised by elections. They vote on CoR decisions in the plenary assembly. At the same time, they participate actively in the six CoR commissionsss and constitute three members of the CoR Bureau, which decides on the CoR's political priorities. In this brochure, we present the members of the German delegation and their work in the CoR. The brochure is published on the occasion of the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second half of 2020. The agenda of this Presidency is focused on issues that will have an impact well beyond the six months of the German Presidency. Major challenges set the course for the future of the European Union. The Conference on the Future of Europe is a key instrument and a unique opportunity for the European Union to reflect on its future structure, its political objectives and the relationship with its citizens. For the CoR, the key question is the role of regions and cities in the future European Union. Regional and local politicians play a crucial role in the relationship between the European Union and its citizens. Metaphorically speaking, they are the hinge between these two levels. The members of the CoR combine their regional or local function in their home country with the task of making their expertise and the voice of the people on the ground heard in European politics. At the same time, they communicate the political decisions of the European Union to the regional and local level. In my view, the European Union can only become stronger if greater importance is attached to this mediating function of regional and local politicians in its future structure.
