"Reflecting on Europe"
is an initiative launched by the European Committee of the Regions to
offer a space for citizens to present their ideas, thoughts and opinions
on what the European Union should be. In this context, regional and
local authorities are asked to engage in a dialogue with their citizens and to collect feedback
on their concerns, thoughts and ideas about the future of the EU. The
CoR takes the commitment to make citizens' voices heard and to take into
account their input in shaping the on-going political debate on the
future of Europe.
