Press Release: Will the renewal of the institutions bring new energy to the EU and new impetus to regions and cities?

On 10-11 September, 2009, in the context of the Swedish presidency of the European Union, the CoR held its Bureau meeting in Uppsala (Sweden), with Luc Van den Brande in the chair. At this meeting, the institution's political executive body officially adopted a raft of recommendations from Europe's regions and cities to the new European Commission. These will be presented to MEPs in the coming weeks, in anticipation of the approaching hearings of the Commissioners designate.
