Date: 17/10/1996 We are always being told that the Union should get as close to its citizens as possible. Now the Committee of the Regions has taken the notion just about as far as it can go. Committee President Pasqual Maragall proudly proclaimed the other day that no other EU institution was so in touch with the people. “After all, we walk the streets every day,” he told delegates at a three-day Parliament conference on regional policy.
